engine dress up

2 questions, on stylinconcepts.com they have silicon hose mcovers and braided hose covers. which is the best to cover our hoses? the other question is how big should i get the hoses for. they have different sizes and i'm not sure which will fit my 2002 honda civic coupe.

well heres one more question. i'm looking to paint my dash and some interior parts. how do i do this? which paint do it use so that it doesn't fade?

I just painted my interior trim pices, and it looks great... and I saved butt loads of $$$ on the honda trim parts.

I also will be painting my wire cover on the engine to match my car... anyone have any paint recommendations for this. The DIY is messed up on this one for some reason. Thanks.

Use Duplicolor Import Color in a can...you can paint it any color under the sun and it won't fade...I did mine silver and it looks awesome!

The Duplicolor Import Color in a can is for the engine or the interior?

What is the best paint to trim my interior dash pieces and paint my center console.

Also i need to know what size silicon hose dress up wires to put on.
