Replacing an old single speed pump and saltwater generator system that no longer works this upcoming week. Pump will be black and I would like my pool pipes to match the color. Is it ok to spray pool PVC pipes black?

I am not a fan of the Jandy TruClear. It is a low quality system that has various issues over time.
Why do you want a TruClear if you do not have a Jandy Aqualink.

Yes.
I’m getting the aqua link system as well. The saltwater system we have now is complete garbage. It’s a Hayward aquarite. It was here when we moved into our home 6 years ago. The salt is never accurate from the panel when taking it to have tested. Now there are issues with the motherboard and there is no telling how old any of it is.
What brand of spray paint is best to use? What will spray painting the pipes black do to the pipes in the heat of the summer? Will there be any sort of risks involved?

Rustoleum is good.
Nothing if you use Schedule 40 PVC.
Risks with what?
Some folks prefer spraying their pipes white or Pentair almond.

Anything but Jandy. Aqualink firmware can only be upgraded by replacing boards, lacks built in networking, and no outdoor display panel to know what the system is doing.
I like Pentair stuff.
Hayward is ok. Their SWG has some quirks that you need to understand.

Yup, look at my signature. Over the years I removed all my Jandy equipment including Aqualink for Pentair equipment. Best thing I have done.
