black plastic tubing to snap over and disguise new external copper gas supply pipes

[rileynexttime]

i'd like to lessen the impact of new copper gas pipes running under the bay and across the front of the house .Across the bottom of the wall which is like pic attached.
Friend suugests painting black .But could i put some sort of black tube over it ?

Can you cover with plants?

You can get black patina for copper.
It creates a chemical reaction and changes the colour of the metal by creating a rust-like reaction the same way a copper roof turns green over time. Your local plumbers metchant may have some brands

I would just paint it, like your friend suggests.

You can get clip on pipe covers in various colours, but normally only for short lengths, such as radiator tails.

You could use cable trunking like this.

I can’t even see it!

@AnSolas that's interesting , thank you !!
@Rollercoaster1920 that would be a bit tricky for various reasons
@MaybeSmaller I'm not good at painting and I wouldn't want to have to do it regularly.
@Polis that was a picture I posted to give an idea of the situation. Sorry a bit confusing
.@minipie that looks like a possibility

We have an external gas pipe that is wrapped in some kind of waxed webbing type material.

Make sure you do not disguise it as a gas supply.

If we're meant to be able to see the pipes in that photo, well I can't!

@KnickerlessParsons and anyone else playing where's Wally - I'm so sorry .
I was googling trying to find the word for the black "skirting board " at the bottom of the wall at the front of the house. Plinth came up but I thought the picture demonstrated it better . But I should have explained that it wasn't a picture of the pipes .

@user1471505356 good point I hadn't thought of that .
