Hi everyone,
I have just had a white arb bull bar fitted and the other day I saw a white snorkel on a 200 series landcruiser which looked awesome - really well hidden and didn't stand out at all.
Does anyone know who offers them?
Thanks in anticipation,
Em

Not seen one advertised mate but a can of spray paint will prob do the trick

Em,

I would see a panel beater and get their opinion, as they would first need to apply a plastic primer to make the paint stick, and then top coat it with the colour of your choice. Can't just paint directly onto the plastic, as it will flake off, and it won't bond

I wouldn't think it would cost any more than $200 - $300 to have this done professionally.

Was it like a safari plastic one or was it stainless or something? A mate of mine got his made by the local exhaust shop and powder coated it black, you could do the same white.

Exactly, mate I didn't mean just paint straight from bunnings it's do able but the custom finish will take some research. It can be done!!!

Contact Millweld, they do the stainless snorkels off the shelf and will powdercoat to your needs.
