[Tigers] Rubber vacuum hose

                Paint has not flaked off

I cleaned the hose with prep solvent

Put a rod inside the hose to keep it straight

Put tape 180 degrees apart and that left near correct size spacing for the stripes

Testor Flat yellow paint and I use an air brush to paint the strips

Testor (model) paint won't just flake off?
If so, that's good to know, I may try painting my new replacement hose..
I thought my original MK1 hose only had one yellow stripe?  Maybe two on
opposing sides?

BTW, years ago when I replaced my original hose, it was looking perfect but,
in back under the air cleaner it had gotten soft.
When it got real hot it collapsed and cut vacuum assist.  I had thought for 
years that I had brake fade but it was just that hose!

                Thank you for your reply

I wanted to make sure the brake booster hose I have was original with 2 yellow strips

Some hoses look like they only have 1 strip

 

I used Flat yellow Testor paint to recreate the 2 strips

The brake booster vacuum hose ? 1 or 2 yellow strips? 

 

 

 

My hose had 2 yellow strips which took me a bit of thought on how to recreate them but I did.

The brake vacuum hose I have has the two yellow strips which are 180 degrees apart on the hose. The yellow stripes was embossed 

in the cloth wrapping on the hose. The yellow stripes was some kind of a rubber like material or rubber paint.
