Default Brake paint

Can anyone recommend a paint for my brake discs, not the area covered by the pads of course, but the bell part that the wheel bolts to ! It looks rough with surface rust on !

Painted wife's 4 pots red with white lettering and mine black with white lettering. Painted the disc bells black. All still looks good after a year. Used Hammerite Smooth spray. Dead easy to do as sprayed everything before fitting. May be a bit trickier on the car.

Allow 1 complete can £7.50 for all 4 calipers, and another for the bells.

Have fun, it's well worth doing.

I'll second that. Use the black and you just don't notice what was previously scruffy and rusty.
