Zippi Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I used Testors flat rubber on my engine hoses and it looks more brown. Is there a list someone has put together for best none custom colors (enamel, craft paint, etc) for hoses, belts, exhaust, aluminum, etc. Edited April 5, 2021 by Zippi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Tamiya makes a Rubber Black that a lot of builders swear by. I plan on buying it as soon as I run out of Flat Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Second vote for Tamiya's Rubber : Black paint . I believe that it's available in aerosol as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Overall I am not a big fan of the little square Testor's bottles, but the rubber works for me as well as the Tamiya. Edited April 5, 2021 by Rodent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I like Model Master acrylic semigloss black. Seems to flow nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 The "rubber" blacks have a bit of brown in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berr13 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If you can find it, I recommend Testor's acrylic Aircraft Interior black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I spray my heater and radiator hoses with Krylon flat black. They dry to a nice semi gloss.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Roberto Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I use Tamiya NATO black. It's not as brown as the tire black but not too black. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
