Always innovating and pushing boundaries, Midlands based hose manufacturer Viper Performance has made a series of unique custom Silicone Hoses for a wealthy client in Brazil with a private collection of exotic sports cars.
This is the first time a silicone hose manufacturer has made exclusive hoses representing a country’s flag.
Viper Performance has the know-how and technical knowledge to manufacture such hoses and meet the client’s specific brief.
To make the hoses Viper Performance needed to colour match silicone pigments to a specific shade asked by the client, create and print the Brazilian flag onto the hoses, all in advance of the Word Cup 2014.
A great deal of work was involved in mixing colours, making a workable raw material batch, designing and printing logos for an exclusive project that will never be produced again.
Viper Performance does not normally do such commissioned work, mainly focusing on manufacturing universal hoses and direct replacement hose kits in best-selling popular blue, red and black. Other colours are also available by special order. It has previously produced limited edition coloured hoses, including dayglow, gold hoses and silver as special limited runs.
These Brazil edition custom hoses showcase Viper Performance’s credentials for producing high quality solutions – although as the client keeps his cars under wraps they will not get a wide audience.
Viper Performance would like to know if anyone else would be prepared to fly their country’s flag in such a unique way.
