Colored windshield washer hose?
Maybe I'm just searching for the wrong words (here and online stores)...
Where can I find colored hose for my windshield washer?
And while you're at it, does someone know off-hand what the sizes might be?
thanks.

Mine is just the same as the rest of the vacuum hoses... Auto parts stores should have it. I know that my local Autozone has a big roll of all sizes of vacuum lines in the back that they bring out if you ask to see them.
Not sure about colored though. But there shouldnt be anything special about the rubber tube for the windsheild washer fluid.

Anyone else. I'd especially need to know the sizes if I'm gonna order online.
I've tried measuring them but I'd feel more secure if I could just hear someone tell me what size they are.
I get confused. Are they named by inner diameter? Outer? Wall thickness?
Thanks.

Best way to do it is to take yours off, bring it into Schucks or where-ever, ask them if they have any of "this" then ask them what size it is. Then once they tell you, just say thanks and leave haha... my local Schucks hates me 
BTW, have you checked the local 3rd gen f-body club boards yet? it's www.cascadecrew.org couldn't help but noticed you lived in Oregon

You could use some of the colored silicone line that is popular with the import crowd. Comes in the same sizes as the rubber hose, but in about any color imaginable. Should be available from most any larger parts store, or online from Summit or Jegs.
Not sure on size off the top of my head, but I would guess 1/4"? Just use a ruler to measure a piece of yours, inside diameter, then compare to sizes available. You may have to convert your size to mm as much of the silicone stuff has metric measurements for the imports.

Make sure you use yellow. It'll make your washer fluid faster.
