I would join in on the being upset at the WWC live sale but I came out of it 6 pieces so I guess I can't gripe.

So you're the one?

We will expect pics!

I'm with you on the threaded valves and such, I did a bunch of threaded on my dads and it worked out well.

What? Did I hear you just volunteer to help us decide?? Lol

Exactly. He is asking for black/clear/blue colors.

I painted the handle on my gate valve and ball valves I got from BRS. Turned out nice.

Just find some krylon with the color you want. It was a lot of tape work but it turned out nice.

Did you rough up the PVC first?

I'm waiting for @dantimdad to comment on the stickers still being on the plumbing lol.

No I didn't, the actual PVC was already purple. It came with the tank so I just decided to make the rest match it.

Ya did good! It all looks perfect.

Haha, I should probably take them off at some point but just haven't done it. Thank you though

I still have to get the rest of mine off!

But, yes, those look hideous! (just kidding)

BTW, I found something that will take those stickers off without being smelly or marring the plastic. 92% rubbing alcohol. The normal stuff you get is 50% at most. If you go to the pharmacy, they sell it.

I use it for cleaning my print bed on the 3d printer, removing stickers and for first aid (Dear Lord! That stuff burns!)

It doesn't cost but a few cents more than the regular kind.

Cannot say that I've ever heard of 92% rubbing alcohol. I know 91% is quite popular and one can also get 99+% isopropyl alcohol but this 92% is a new one on me. Then, again, @dantimdad is involved and he often gets very special things that only he can get!

I like using a lighter and some Aqua Net to remove stickers and other things! ;Wacky
