Step 3 Painting the pipe

Cut a 1.5' section of the 1.5" piping. then prepare your PVC pipe for painting, rinse off any dirt etc... Then take your metallic spray paint on a very calm (unwindy) day, stick your cap on one end, and EXECUTE PAINTAGE!!! take your can and quickly move it out away from you in a straight line, while rotating the pipe. then rap a paper towel around the end without the cap on it and stick it in a vice (to keep it upright). let it dry for 24 hours, apply a 2nd coat if you want.
