Lude Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 ive just done mine today! happy with them, wish i did them sooner tbh. makes such a difference, you dont notice how brown/rusty the stock discs are til you paint them. anyway pics removed the wheel and masked up the disc (UK brakes btw) i just left the caliper on, as didnt have my tools here. (just let the handbrake off so you can spin the disc to paint it all) paint with a brush. i used hammerite, as i had loads left from when did the calipers remove the masking tape (nice part) and vwala! for thos who thaught you cant see this part of the disc when the wheel is on heres the final result.

Hammer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Like that mate. Looks good behind the white wheels with the blue wheel studs. Good choice, good work and good to see something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I thought it wasnt a good idea to paint the face of the hubs as the rims dont sit properly against them? think it was suprastar3000 who had the tyre problems??iirc...looks good though!
