Welcome to the site.
You may want to focus your search on colored plastic PVC pipe and not water pipe.
Not sure if you can find what you want on ebay. Good luck

I think he is talking about the PVC used in large diameter pipes. It's about 3/4" thick.
OLLIEwinz, I have some blue & green. I could spare about 4 of each if that will help you. They're about 5" long.

PVC pipe comes in the following colors that I know of: white, blue, green, purple, yellow
all colors may not be appropriate thickness for turning.

I believe that the term is storm drain or sewer pipe and not water pipe. If it is over 3/4" thick walls it will be sewer pipe.

you are completely right

it's just pipe
the color of the pipe depends on what is carried by the pipe...the thickness is determined by the overall ID of the pipe.
white - typically drain, waste, vent or for pressure pipe within property, I don't see it used much for public works
blue - potable water
green - sewer
purple - recycled water (typically from wastewater plants carried to where it is used for irrigation of landscaping)
yellow - specific brand of pipe, used as needed for any of the above

Check your local plumbing shops as many carry the pipe. They often have busted pipe sections you could probably buy very cheap..
You'll need to cut it to shorter lengths so carry a saw when you go.

I'm using it for a pen blank the stuff i have is about 1'' wall thickness but 3/4 works too.
I have a large quantity of pink sewer pipe. It's about 1-1/2" thick. Happy to gift you some. Send me a PM if you want it.
