did mine red a couple weeks ago after having recent front/rear discs pads all round. decided to paint the centre part of the brake discs red too, to hide unsightly rust/ brake dust. give em a quick soak, and rub down with a wire brush. then painted them twice in hammerite smooth red. set the wheels off nicely. will do the subary writing one day when i get round to it with a small brush.

Those look like they've been painted in the same stuff I used first time round, at least, mine were originally a slightly glossy black with ridges in.

Oh right Andi. I'll probably re paint them in the same colour.

--------------

What about jade green - Project Mu or anodised light blue Endless colours?
