Looks nice mate. I also think red or black for the hoses. As for the painting as long as you de-grease them well and use plastic primer they should be fine painted

They can be painted, see (probably the opposite of your engine bay ):


But the coolant overflow and washer bottle caps seem to flake off because they bend when you remove them to top things up but as long as you are careful they'll be ok. I use a primer and a clear coat too.

My yellow caps P*** me off as well, I just don’t want it to flake and look bad in a few weeks. Would be very interested in the dipping process would it work?

If it lasts on wheels I'm sure a couple of caps would be fine

Been thinking about different ways sort out the yellow filler caps & when i get time im going to try to make some covers to go over them.
The plan is to vacuum form some thermoplastic over the top of the existing screw top covers, in effect giving a black plastic cover.
Any thoughts on this ?

I have sent for some plastic paint in black, should make a flexible covering. Will update if it works.

FFS i didn't notice the air con caps

DonNedly

iTrader: (10)

sorry, you won't be able to stop noticing them now i;ve pointed them out.

I agree with the post about the urban camo samco hoses. They could look real good in your bay.
or they do a matt black one

OK I gave the plastic paint a go and so far I am very pleased with it, Tested it quickly on a old yellow oil cap just to see how well it works.





Very quick test and I am sure the finish could be improved with a few more coats of primer and a little more time taken. I have given it a good scrub and tried to pick it off with the nail and its solid, so far so good.
