Cracking job willni, I need to sort out my rear hubs too. I hope I get them even half as good as yours but I'm rather impatient and a bit slapdash at the best of times..... :embarrassed:

I sprayed all the coats, I previously brushed mine and once the dirt got in the lines it annoyed me. Just taped up the caliper, disc face and mounting surface.

We can all get like that, definitely worth waiting until you are feeling more patient  :grin: the graphene primer dries extremely fast I'd say maybe in 5-6 minutes between coats, then the hammerite dried fairly quickly as well 10-15 mins between coats.

I used these brass brushes (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008PQB3QG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on the ryobi drill (the ultimate machine of the dyi'er  :wink:) and it made light work of it, used a fully charged battery per side of the car.

Let me know if you take anymore photos, I'm tempted to buy the plain grey one and get it painted textured again to match the plastics.
