Default NAPA Heater Hose (Yellow tracer line remove)
Anyone ever tried to remove the Yellow tracer line that is on some NAPA heater hise? I've tried the obvious Naphtha. Paint Thinner, Paint stripper (didn't leave on for more then a min), Acetone.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Do they still make tire black? We would turn our whitewalls to black with the stuff but I haven't seen any for some time. It should get rid of the yellow.

Why not just buy heater hose without the stripe?

Lacquer thinner with a bit of aggressive rubbing does the trick.

I used "2+2" carb cleaner on the last job to remove the stripe and markings
