What color do you want. Most parts store sell red and blue heater hose. That's what I did.

Depending on the color you want, you can buy various colors of electrical tape and wrap them neatly. I have seen a few done this way, and it looks pretty good.

Most auto part stores carry different colors. I am pretty sure wal mart sells a pack of different colors together...
