I'm going for red pipes with white fittings.

For all the extra work, why not just get the pipe from FORMUFIT (or another manufacturer) or BRS directly? How much pipe are we talking about?

Formufit doesn't have the size I need in color. I love the furniture grade finish on their pipes.

BRS carries the sizes I need but only in 5' length which means I'll need at least 2 lenghts of each which are already priced much higher than standard PVC and then the US exchange. After I add the shipping, I'm looking at paying about 4-5 times what I would pay for everything locally.

It'll be time consuming but will give me the DIY satisfaction and gratification
