QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 30 2019, 08:43 AM) I m using this kind of hose. Not sure the quality hose now. Been 20yrs outdoor rain and shine. I think it's also related to how you reel back and keep the hose from twist and bend that can last longer.  For reel, try to find a stainless steel reel. I have changed a few reels. Plastic and steel. Plastic will brittle in a few yrs under the sun. Steel will rust also but last longer than plastic. In all, the hose survives the longest. Just paint the casing with acrylic water proof paint. The casing will be covered with the rubberized acrylic paint that will last 10 years. Then repaint. I used pentens t200

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 4 2019, 03:50 PM) Good suggestion.  That is provided you have the paint. The paint 5 litre costs RM65 enough to cover one porch slab. I used the left over to paint over rot wooden knight handle, plastic handles of grass trimmer, garden plastic hose connectors, iron mesh, water pressure meter, hammer handle just dip in the paint and let dry. The rubberized paint is very thick when painted on the iron mesh is just like our home wire insulated with rubber. Since it is UV protection anything under the sun and rain is good to use.

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 5 2019, 11:00 AM) Is it a clear acrylic paint ? Can get it from hardware shop or ACE ? But if you said like rubberized, it is something like a Plasti Dip ? Cause I use before Plasti Dip to coat thing. I have macam macam paint/coat in my store room. I use to try and error anything. No, it is not the clear acrylic paint. The clear acrylic paint is very thin even with multiple coats. This paint comes with 3 solid colors, grey, white and green. It is a waterproof paint membrane for roof slabs prevent water seepage. The paint can be stress like rubber when dried. Can be found in hardware shop, lazada, shopee. Just type pentens T200

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 6 2019, 09:13 AM) Got it. Wouldn't it be ugly for the whole thing cover with paint ? Or the same color paint ? Choose between durability UV protection and beauty, ha-ha. Anyway if you want original colour you can search taobao for clear transparent paint. You know China have everything under the sun.
