Why in GODS NAME do Engine manufacturers paint hoses on engines. (most diesel engine co's do ) The paint never sticks to a hot rubber hose and it just ends up peeling off and looking like crap and paint chips end up in the bilge pump. They should add the hoses AFTER it is painted. (just a pet peeve I have).

I replaced every hose (at a significant expense) because I got tired of looking at them.

Ahhh, I feel better now that I vented. Thanks.
