I'm painting my basement walls and have a hot/cold CPVC drop running down
the wall for the washer. Can I paint the CPVC using a latex paint?
Thanks,

Never painted cpvc but I have painted a few pvc pipes in my time. So my
opinion is yes you can.

Same here. I have an outdoor structure made out of pvc. Painting
enhances the life of it. I did prime it first...

I've found TruValu Acrylic Latex deck paint to be good for PVC pipe
(and self-priming). Smoothest (no drag) paint I have ever used.

How's it holding up on decks?

My limited advice on paint is that if it is sold at HD it's crap.

I've only used it on concrete floors. It dries very hard and adheres
well if not soaked (as in flooded basement). I also use it for trim.

I'd have to agree with the HD paint assessment.

I found that the easiest way is to just use nail Polish. You don't need to prep it first
