Hello chaps

Just wondering if anuone has bothered to paint the hubs on the rears as they are starting to bug me looking reddy rust colour. What have people used
paint wise and what colour did they paint them ??

Just doing mine now. Taken the hubs and calipers off. The hubs were rubbed down with a wire brush in a drill and then painted with clear hi temp laquer as they look fantastic without coloured paint. Just masked the disks off. With the Caliper and its attachments, I am painting with POR15 then painting them in the colour I want, and again, go over with a clear laquer. This will stop the thing rustings up again, and I will have the finished item in the next day or so. just leaving the POR15 to fully dry off in the house.



The final outcome can be seen on the 'Engine Project' topic.
