Paint Suggestions for Garden Hose
Hi,
I have a garden hose made from hybrid polymer that I would like to paint a different color. Is there a paint type or brand that would not crack or peel and that would withstand temperature variations?
The specific description of the hose on Amazon is: Flexzilla Garden Lead-in Hose, 5/8 in. x 10 ft., Heavy Duty, Lightweight, Drinking Water Safe - HFZG510YW.
It is bright yellow. The shipping cost for returning it is prohibitive.
Thanks,
Bill

A garden hose is just too flexible, the paint will start flaking off as soon as it's moved!
marksr, thanks for the suggestion. That was one paint I was looking at. Anyone have any other thoughts?

Won't the cost of the specialized paint far exceed the value of the 10' Hose ?
Maybe not "far exceed" the cost of the paint, but is cheaper by a few dollars.
Thanks for the reality check.

If you can get the color hose you want for just a few dollars more than what you'd spend in paint - buy the new hose!!
Everyone's comments got me to rethink my options, I realized I have some broken hose that will do by simply cutting the length I want and adding a male repair kit to one end. Duh!
Thanks all for your input.
