Painting Hoses??

[STL240SX]

The rubber hoses under the hood. Can you paint them with high temp. paint, or would it even be worth it?? All the colored silicone hose kits suck.. So what do you guys think??

[yenpit]

nope, waste of time. $.02

[sspikey]

if your engine is n/a goto your local hardware store. they should have some really good quality clear hoses. try them out. i know someone from club4ag did it to his ae86 but not sure if it would be good on a ka.

Why the #### would you want to paint your hoses?

[gh6o6]

it will crack - too flexible

hey chickenmanq-  you should  put a picture of the ford in your sig man. that thing is sweet.

Yeah I agree it's a waste of time.  For the amount of money and time you spend fooling around with a can of spray paint, you're better off buying some actual silicon hoses.

I agree. Silicon hoses are actually pretty cheap. I've even got a link for you.

I have to agree as well, rattle-canning flexible things doesn't work out too well...besides its kinda ricey. &nbsp;Go with the silicone
