Wazz72 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Bought a full set of 3g discs and after about 2 days after I fitted them the centers started to rust. I have since fixed this problem by wire brushing them back to steel and painting them in Hamerite Heat resistant matt black barbicue paint. They look a lot better and have not shown any signs of rust since monday. Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Pretty common for discs to rust mate, 2 days is rather quick though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Someone used a sock as an engine oil cap once didnt they, in the good ol USA!! Needless to say it didnt quite turn out well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazz72 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 I didnt paint the disc faces, just the hubs. And dont oil your discs it'll just drip off. I use Axle grease (cause its nice and thick) to stop them squeaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
