Title: Rusty Drum Pics !
Post by: dubsport on 24 July 2007, 11:50

had the idea yesterday of spraying the ol' brake drums, so went to buy the paint but ran out of time and had to go to work so i got on it today and im really pleased with the results  :smiley: not a major 'mod' but still makes her look that bit more sexy  :laugh: haha.

Started with this ... yummm nice!  :sad:

Nice , but i wouldn't have painted the face that the wheel mates against. When fitting the wheel both surfaces should be clean
