Hi Fishy, I'm kinda interested in your filter. Did you use threaded PVC or just cement the endcaps on?

Just make sure to let it cure at least 24 hours. I had a few spray bars that I only let them dry to the touch, and the paint chipped off. I think this stuff needs a little extra time to really bond well with the surface. Things I've painted and let sit for a few days before putting them in, the paint generally seems to hold up a lot better.
