Anyone ever painted white pvc?
Is there a way to paint white pvc black? I imagine you would need a primer.

You need to finely sand the surface to provide a key then use an acrylic or celulose car paint primer. Top coat can be anything you paint a car with, a laquer would add the finishing touch and make it harder wearing.
If this is a flute type object, as I suspect, then you would need to consider paint build up in and around the holes as this will alter tuning somewhat.

KRYLON makes a special spray-paint just for plastics. Should be available at your local hardware store.

Why bother? The stuff looks good as it is, and I have fun telling the unsuspecting (and uninformed) that it's made from Nauga tusk; a by-product of the merciless slaughter of the animals for their colorful hides!

As a vegan type I prefer to lie that my Tipple PVC flutes are porcelain.
Actually I don't lie at all. People exclaim that they have never seen a porcelain flute like that before and I just smile.
Modern architectecture has a thing about innate beauty of materials.
I'm into that. Bamboo to look like bamboo. wood like wood, plastc like porcelain (oops I mean plastic).
Wooden houses should be oiled, not painted. Why woould you want to get a beautiful, uniquely grained material and cover it with plastic paint?

Somewhere on the web there's an article about dying PVC with fabric dyes; the results aren't always the same as the colour a fabric would turn, but they are predictable and stable.

Ah, here's one.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
