PVC question for the experts

[iantower]

So guys, I went and bought a bunch of my fittings for my closed loop, laid them out on the cardboard and spray painted them all, flipped and did the backs. Well.... my question is did I just mess up? Will these parts cement together (some of the fittings have street ends that are now painted black) and I didn't cover the ends which means some spray got into the inside of the slip.
If this will cause the cement to not properly adhere then I guess I'll go pick up new pieces.
thanks for any opinions!

Use lots of PVC cement shouldn't be an issue

rough it up with sand paper before you glue

When in doubt, more glue. If it leaks, more glue.

Mine all just held together by duct tape :? But shhh don't tell my insurance agent.

+1 should be pvc to pvc. Mainly due to the risks if it does let go.
