NICE! new hoses too ? is your car off the road for winter ?

[Jaye R]

Yep - bonnet off & cleaning engine bay - new hoses, lots of autosol, a bit of bling & a bit of paint - Spring will see how it turns out...:

Sweet! That's exactly what I'm going to be doing this winter! What's the most cost effective of painting them and make them look good?

Did you order hoses as a whole pack or get them seperately?

Hoses are from ACT - there's a good string on here about where they all go...

My mate is a paint sprayer - so after some experimenting - we used a 'brake caliper' paint from e-bay (heat resistant) and thinned it to go through the spray gun - hey presto!!

Looks cool - now all we have to do is keep things clean...

If you get to painting PM me and I'll dig out the link to e-bay for the paint we used - I'll also ge the thinner split ratio from my mate - if you're spraying.

I got a red car, so i may go red for the rocker covers too. Just heat resistant red caliper paint. I'll PM for details.

It was not my handy work! by all means do the same if you wish.
