Krylon Fusion - is it reef safe?

[Gooli]

I would like to spray paint a pvc part black which sits in the water.
Has anyone used Krylon Fusion in a reef successfully?
from experience only - please don't speculate - my animals are at stake

thanks

No idea, maybee ask Randy in the chemistry forum?

People in the diy have used it on maxi-jet mods to make it black, but thats just speculation

If it were me, I would just let it cover in corraline.

Sorry im not much help

If the PVC you are trying to cover is a pipe and not an elbow, then you can go to Wal Mart or wherever and get a shower curtain rod cover in blac, and cut to fit. It's just a long plastic tube with a slit down the middle and it's used to cover a shower curtain rod. I've used it before and it works great with no problems.

He used Krylon Fusion black satin to paint the overflow and it seems a few others have done it as well without problem.

Krylon is fine. I have it all over the plumbing inside my tank. Let it cure for at least 24 hours before using it though
