Colored coolant hoses

First time doing this.


So far, not a good experience I guess in this situation learned that you get what you pay for while I found a set of upper and lower hoses in total two that attached to the upper part of the radiator to the top of the engine and then the other hose attaches to the bottom of the radiator into the pump Well, those two hoses are looking pretty bad

I want to add some color in the engine bay so I ordered red hoses. Well guess what shows up hoses that will maybe fit a Honda Civic, Mind you I did only pay about $60 for the hoses and I see that hoses that actually do fit are roughly $180 for the set which I think is insane



So I wanted to ask since I can source OEM hoses for fraction of the price can I spray paint the hoses the color that I want?????

 

What are coolant hoses made from? Rubber.
Can you spray paint rubber?

Yeah but don’t these hoses get really hot… doesn’t paint start to crack when it gets hot, especially when it’s on a soft surface?

 

Depends on the paint. You'll need one that bonds well to rubber and is flexible.

 

plasty dip heh.

 

No. Commercial grade marine paint

 

Oooh, poppy red????
