DodgyRog Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I gave mine a coat of black hammerite, pretty much the day I bought it, hate seeing all the rust through the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 ritey o, think il have to do mine then! will colour ones look good? i have blue calipers & blue wheel nuts, blue discs be overkill? if i paint those, will that stop the rust look you get on the discs themselves when you havent used the car ina while?

Westy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'd go blue or black mate for that nice clean look. Any clash in colour would look ridiculous! Should stop the rust look if treated prior to paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 black is the only option imo, a bright colour reminds me of the chav's who paint there drum brakes on there corsas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Has to be black, mine will go that colour at some point this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Don't paint the non rusty parts of the disk. You don't want to have to wear off a layer of paint before your brakes work. These bits will still rust when you wash the car, but the rest will be sparkly and rust free. As for colour, it's black for me. But it's your car, go with what you want. If you don't like it you can always change the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It was for safety after the comment about it stopping the bits going rusty after washing. Like to think you are right and no offence meant the the op. Better safe than sorry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
