These were mine before my little cleaning job:

After





Like 182_Blue, I used Hammerite smooth. Did this around 18 months ago. Still no corrosion

and im guessing they never caught fire either LOL

No. Either I'm a slow-ass driver not generating enough heat or the paint is fine to use, IMO

I done my hubs a while ago with red hamerite smooth, and a month on they are still looking Top.

Did you prep the hubs in any way prior to painting?

[182_blue]

 washed them, wire brushed them then sprayed with brake cleaner

[Hurdy]

Going to have to get around to doing the rears soon. Fronts obviously don't need doing though.

Hammerite smooth is probably the easiest solution. too.

Nice work Blue.

[NEWEY]

looks alot better

Good work 182, looking great there mate. 

I did the same on mine a while ago now, they still look as good as when I first did them. No fires, no rust and they look perfect. 

Can I ask what you sprayed up into your arches, (I use AG vinyl stuff, have a few bottles left so trying to use it up)?

I took my disks off to do mine, fronts are quite easy apart from the 21mm nut  :embarassed:
