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 !

 

hi mate, i went to B+Q and got a tin of (PLASTICOTE PAINT) its really for toys and stuff, but i painted my 4 pots (ANTIUQE GOLD) and the discs and they look well...

 

Hammerite smooth is always a good choice aswell.

 

Thanks for the tips. Keep the faith

 

Use the proper stuff 2k brake paint, and you will be happy.

 

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.

 

This works:

Foliatec Brake Caliper Paint

 

Yep, I used this too and it worked a treat.

 

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