What's the best paint for exterior wastepipes?

What is the best sort of black paint to use to cover exterior plastic waste pipe? Thanks in advance for your help.

I may be wrong but I think painted waste pipes will look naff.

If possible, replace them as they do not cost very much and is quite straightforward.

agree with above, why not get black pipes

The neighbour has already purchased the wastepipes (white) and elbows (grey) . The other wastepipe serving the same flat is also painted black. Yes, it does look naff but at least in this case there is consistency in the naffness.

Dulux Weathershield is a nice shiny , flexible, black. DOn't use undercoat.
If you want black pipes which don't go "off" like Polypipe, use Terrain. I daresay some others are OK too.

Rub the pipe down with sandpaper first to give the paint something to key into. After that more or less any exterior gloss you care to mention will be fine. Its a good way of protecting the pipe from UV light which gets to them all sooner or later
