Peter,
I've been reading this thread and wonder if there is any impact on applying
the solvents used both for cleaning and in the paint to rubber hoses.
How have the painted ones held up?
thanks
Steve

Hi Don,
Yes, the pitch is about the same and the stripe and space are also about
1/2" on the smaller hoses. I used some old hoses that a friend loaned me as
models.
The paint that didn't dry was the yellow 1-shot. However, it did dry on some
of the hoses, just not all. Never figured out why. My guess is that they
used different types/amounts of plasticizers in the hoses.
I just remembered, before I did any painting, I wiped the hoses down with
paint thinner and allowed them to dry for several days.
