I was under the impression silicon hosing expands and contracts so paint will crack, and most likely melt anywhere where it's close to hot metal. I had to have my purple cut to my cars spec's.

The Samco ones are a better colour than mine, mine are SFS Performance .. I had to have them cut as they don't stock standard cut packs for old cars in purple Sad But i want Samco ones later on as the colour is much nicer

I thought the same, unless you get a high temp rubberised paint - but the expense of that might negate the need for painting them in the first place.
