Being a skint bugger I am after some info on a product i have seen but can't find the artical I read about it in.

I can't afford samco hose's but want to tart up the engine bay abit.

In one of the Performace magazines, I read about a product in which you can SPRAY your Water/Coolent hose's so they are a certon colour. This is a specialist product which is meant to be used for this purpose. Just want to know has anyone ever used it and is it any good?

Also if anyone has any contact details of the company that sells them I will be most greatful

Regards
Dan

About as welcome here as a fart in a space suit...

I've seen some stuff in 'custom car' mag that you cut to length & slip over the hoses, they do fake braided steel ones
might be worth a look

if you spray rubber hoses it will eventually crack. try rubber dye.
