How Do I Paint Copper Pipe?Updated 2 years ago

Copper piping is made of copper tubing that channels running water to faucets or drains away waste water. In either case, as long as the copper plumbing has been properly prepared and the correct paint is used, you can paint copper plumbing successfully for decorative, aesthetic, or practical purposes.

Preparing

Lightly sand the outside of the copper tubing to remove all of the oxidation. Use a fine 400-grit sandpaper and sand until the copper is shiny to the eye

Primer

Rostex Super Akva

Topcoat

Helmi 10, Helmi 30, Helmi 80, depending on the sheen level required (although most interior paints should work)
