Just cleaned all the green buildup that was on both these supply pipes, using a combo of Acetone, 150 grit sandpaper, steel wool. I also tried the baking soda/white vinegar/salt mix which by itself did nothing, (The buildup appeared that bad). I did the best I could do. I talked to a plumber who told me that I should spray it with enamel paint afterwards. Would that be the proper thing to do? Problem is, there is no way I can get a paint spray can behind there to spray the backside of those 2 pipes. I noticed the same type of split pipe in one of my bathrooms that go into the ground, on those pipes are a black type coating, not sure what the coating is but my guess is this was done when the house was originally built 50 years ago. Should I paint, (Please suggest with what) or leave it be?
