To remove the black detail paint from a PVC pipe label and achieve an all-white look, there are a few methods you can try:

1. Use PVC cleaner: using PVC cleaner can effectively remove markings and barcodes from PVC pipes. Simply apply the cleaner to a cloth or rag and wipe the pipe down. Screw the lid back onto the PVC cleaner tin after use.
2. Use acetone: Another option is to use acetone and an old rag to remove the markings from your pipes. Simply apply the acetone to the rag and wipe the pipe down. Be sure to handle acetone with care and in a well-ventilated area.
3. Sand the pipe: If the markings are particularly stubborn, you can try sanding the pipe down using sandpaper or a sanding sponge. This method may take more time and effort, but it can effectively remove the markings.

It's worth noting that these methods may not completely remove all traces of the black detail paint from the PVC pipe, but they should help to significantly reduce its appearance. Additionally, be sure to wear gloves and eye protection when handling PVC cleaner or acetone and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling any fumes.
