A clean engine vs a corrosion free engine?

[Plum]

I have no intention of attempted to repainting the hoses - buy the paint is flaking of them in places . I don't think the paint causes any harm since the original hoses remain in service after 18 years.

My hoses, with the original now flakey paint, are still good after 21 years so yes, the paint does no harm.

I replaced some of the old hoses on my Sole Diesel with blue silicone to match the engine.
