Thanks guys. The next step will be a learning stage I learned yesterday there is a way to "stain" PVC just about any color you like. Which has several advantages over paint such as won't chip or scratch and won't mess with the dimensional tolerances of the fittings. Getting away from the standard white PVC will make a huge difference in looks as well. Even if I just go with black it would look better. Oh the staining method looks like it won't cost anything extra either if anything may come up a bit cheaper.
