I normally leave the hose part unpainted, but I've painted the valve end and connection with both Polly S and Floquil and the paint has held up so far. Of course I still have some cars waiting for their turn in the paint shop. P-B-L also makes them in HO in their Hi-Tech Details lines. There they state that they're paintable with plastic-compatible paint. http://www.hitechdetails.com/ I've been tempted to try gluing a small piece of refrigerator magnet on the end to see if I could get them to couple. They should look good with Sergent couplers. (Lately, I've been installing some HO Sergent couplers on my narrow gauge rolling stock.) Bob, you took pictures of a Sn3 caboose I built that had both the rubber air hoses and the Sergent couplers.
