Have just fitted a new sink and have replaced the waste pipe. It's the usual white plastic stuff. The problem is that the rest of the outside pipework is black. Can I paint this plastic pipe? If so any particular type of paint to use or avoid?
Thanks in advance

Yes.
I clean and lightly sand the pipe first, then I use oil-based gloss paint. It seems to adhere especially well to the pipe material and lasts for years.
I'm sure others will have differing ideas ...
I painted all the exterior waste pipes with black gloss. Seems to work fine.
Oil based - without any undercoat - seems to work pretty well.
Thanks for the replies. Bog standard oil based gloss seems unanimous.
