Topic: Can Anyone post pics of ORTF bar close ups?

And if you DO use PVC/Plastic piping, USE SOME PLASTIC PRIMER BEFORE YOU SPRAY PAINT THEM BLACK, and then you need the FUSION PLASTIC SPRAY PAINT, or they WILL CHIP/FLAKE OFF very quickly

What I generally do is take fine grit sandpaper to the shiny PVC.  It gives it a 'matte' texture and allows paint/marker to stick easier without going the primer route.  It also reduces light reflection off the bar and helps things blend in a bit in low light situations. 

Thats also a great idea. I would def recommend doing that first!!! But being a painter for over 5+ years, I use primer religiously ESPECIALLY on plastics!!! And if you DO NOT use that Fusion plastic spray paint, its not going to be nearly as durable IMO!!

thanx
do you have any experience with using any kind of dye to dye PVC?
or could you (or others) recommend any?
that way it will bond or soak into the plastic and not chip off

nope, sorry bud. I just know that primer+FUSION plastic spray paint will bond pretty damn good. just make sure you get plastic specific primer AND spraypaint. Get spraypaint for BOTH TYPES

I have some Rustoleum Plastic spray paint - it states no primer needed
I know with my semi limited painting experience- primer is almost always needed

appreciate you input
