If you do spray it try to find the position you want it in first. The fit is pretty tight so it would probably scrape off the paint. All three of the companies I posted are Canadian (or have Canadian branches at least) and used to be cheaper than princess. That said though if you don't have a local branch and need to ship it... Princess might be cheaper. Worth a look though .

Thanks Chris. if I do spray any parts it will likely only be the nozzles etc. that will show the most. There is a local KBC tools so I may check them out as well as Princess Auto.

for those small sizes why not look at the large flexible drinking straws.

It's an interesting idea but what I am looking at doing is to have an adjustable nozzle or two on the outflow from the pump on the back wall. Basically what you see on the nanocubes but a smaller version of it for the 2.25 gallon pico tank I'm building. Hence, the smaller loc-line. I want it to look better then a straw. Besides, I'm not sure a flexible straw would hold its position very well and would probably move a round a bit.

JL Aquatics also have 1/2 and 3/4 lineloc available.

I've purchased my lineloc parts from them to build my returns.

Thanks. I've seen the larger locline at OA and also J&L but I need smaller 1/4 inch for an AIO pico tank I'm building. KBC has ordered some for me and hopefully they'll have it in soon.

I remember seeing some on a Delta scroll saw for blowing the dust away.It was black in colour.Maybe you could look at a place that carries tools and see if it is usable and if it could be ordered in as a replacement part.
