Paint Prep

[Jellybean]

Hey

 

Painting the

 

• Diff pumpkin casing (Cast with a aluminum Diff cover)
  
• Brake rotors bells
  
• Brake Calipers
  

 

Parts so far

• POR -- Brake Caliper Kit (Black)
  
• POR-15 - Prep & Ready
  
  It not only dissolves away the rust it also etch primes the clean surface and leaves a Zinc Phosphate coating to prevent further rusting.
  
  
  This amazing liquid is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive. It insures perfect paint adhesion and gives better welding conductivity. It can be brushed on, sprayed on or just immerse rusted parts to bring them up like new.
  
  
  Surfaces should be pre-treated with a quality degreaser for greater effectiveness.

  
  

• VHT - Caliper Paint (310ml) -- Gold
  
• High Temp Satin Black
  
• Wire Brush
  

 

Looking for advice on prep and recommended products

 

Rotor Bells

 

Its a Project MU SCR Pro Rotor, example pic below but with pitted and faded Project Mu green

 

Does anybody have any experience with pitting in Aluminium? I want to repaint my Brake rotor bells , but any advice on the prep?

 

I was told and read it is a bad idea to get Aluminum Sand blasted

 

Not too sure to give it a go with the POR-15 - Prep & Ready& VHT paint or get it powder coated.

 

 

 

Hopefully finished
