You shouldn't do this. Where verdigris is thickest is where your copper pipe is going to soon have a pinhole leak. If you paint it, it's much harder to fix in emergency.

Will enamel paint go over flat paint?

Can you paint over enamel with latex?
you can paint over latex paint with latex enamel.
Can you paint flat paint over Multispec paint?
yes
Can you paint semi gloss over flat latyex paint?
Yes. You can paint semi-gloss latex paint over flat latex paint. It is not advised to paint over any latex with any oil-based paint. Nor is it advised to try and paint over semi-gloss paint with any other finish without first de-glossing the finish and priming.
Can you use chalk pastels over acrylic paint?
Yes, you can put chalk pastels over acrylic paint. After acrylic paint is dry, you can use soft pastels over the paint so it won't crack.
What is the word for copper turning green?
The word is "oxidation", which in the case of copper is a three-step process where the copper oxidizes to copper oxide, then to cuprous or cupric sulfide, and then to copper carbonate. Copper carbonate is the green colored copper or patina that forms over time. The old name for this green patina is "verdigris".
Is the property of brass totally different from copper and zinc?
No. For example, copper reacts with oxygen to produce a green substance called patina or verdigris. Because brass is an alloy (mixture) of copper and zinc, the copper in brass will over time turn green, but can be cleaned with a polish made for brass.
How do you accelerate verdigris patina on copper?
100 grams Copper Carbonate 200 mls Ammonia 1 lt Warm Water Spray onto copper allow to dry, repeat but dont make too wet...... This process essentialy speeds up nature, so many light sprays over several days is the best and hardiest way of application.
What keeps a penny from rusting?
Rust is the name normally given to iron oxide, a compound formed when iron or steel is exposed to oxygen. Pennies, or cents in the US (and Canada until 2012) are made from copper and other non-ferrous metals so by definition they don't form rust. However some countries' "copper" coins are actually made of steel with a thin copper coating. If the coating is damaged oxygen can cause the underlying steel to rust although the copper itself does not.However, copper can and does react with oxygen and other materials over time, but usually it's a much slower process than what happens with a ferrous metal. In the case of coins, the most common reaction produces a greenish patina called verdigris; it's normally copper carbonate but in proximity to seawater verdigris can contain copper chloride.
Does copper rust or not rust?
No, Copper Does Not Rust... It CorrodesHowever, it will oxidize and turn dark brown and then green over time. The Statue of Liberty looks green because copper has a property of turning green due to carbon dioxide and the moisture in the air. That is not rusting; it is called copper patina. More infoExposure to air or oxygen causes the brownish film on copper piping. Water - especially mineralized water - causes greenish or bluish corrosion. And deionized water can pull copper metal from the piping and cause pitting or damage.The term "rusting" is reserved for the corrosion of iron.Copper does not rust. Rust is a mixture of hydrated iron oxides so, by definition, if will only form on iron and iron-rich materials (such as some types of steel). Copper can get a covering of Verdigris, which is a green-colored compound.
What is lead abatement?
Lead abatement refers to the treatment and/or removal of building materials containing ingestible lead which were commonly used until the mid-1970s when they were banned in the United States. Most commonly these include lead water pipes and lead-based paint. Typically, lead water pipes are replaced and lead-based paint is sealed and painted over.
Why is copper used for pipes?
It is malleable and relatively inert. Iron rusts and is very hard. Gold and silver are too expensive.
Is aluminium used for water pipes and electrical wires?
Aluminium is not used for water pipes. It's not as elastic as Copper. Because aluminium is less expensive than copper, it is sometimes used for electrical wiring, but, because it corrodes much more easily than copper, much more care has to be taken a) to protect it from the atmosphere and b) to make connections that will be remain reliable over a long period of time. Overall, aluminium wire is not as easy to install so, for general purposes, copper wire is better.
What is the best pipes for plumbing purposes?
I have used PEX pipe for over 12 years and believe it to be the best domestic pipe there is. Way more efficient, reliable and easier to work with than copper.
