Black plastic radiator pipes available?

[preludecrazy]

Hi. My radiators are plumbed with 10mm white plastic pipes. Shortly I'll be replacing a white radiator with a black radiator on a wall covered in black wallpaper, so would like use black pipes.

I'm sure I saw 10mm black plastic radiator piping on a website several months ago, but I cannot find any now! So maybe the 10mm pipe I saw wasn't radiator piping!? Does anybody know where I get them from? I might have to spray white pipes black.

Thanks.

Never seen black barrier pipe before, nope, you may just have to paint it matt black

Or black covers.

Get some white covers, spray paint them black and then fit over existing pipes. That way there's no possibility of a chemical reaction between the paint and your heating system - and it'll look neat

Use copper and paint it black... plastic expands and contracts too much, so the paint will flake off reasonably quickly

Is this for your dungeon?

If you decide to paint the pipe directly, don’t use oil based paint.

I see this thread is quite old. In the meantime has anyone come across 10mm radiator pipe covers? I can find 10mm black collars but not the pipe covers!
Or is painting the copper pipe still the only option available?
Thanks
