I was just washing my car, and noticed the painted is basically washing away with the soap on the discs. Only 2yrs old as well now it's going to look naff :( and suggestions?

There is no paint on the discs or hubs. They are bare metal.

The hubs do get a light coat of sealant / grease on them out of the factory but this very quickly washes off.

Some seem to fare better than others, there have been a few cases of people complaining of unsightly corrosion through the alloys.

There are a few threads where people have painted them with silver Hammerite...

It's not just a VAG thing either, your car might have been sat at the salty/windy docks for a few weeks...

Well at least I now know this wasn't done at the factory. I know BMW fit Nordac which are manufactured with a coating to stop surface corrosion

On my mk1 vrs, I painted the disc rotors in green Hammerite to match the callipers. No issues with heat so you could paint them with silver or red Hammerite?

Yup, got a few tins of the OLD, lighter shade of green hammerite in the shed: Skoda green!

I'm doing mine black when I have the wheels off for the refurb. Look exactly like the pic above at the moment!

Silver hammerite spray ftw

A friend of mine works for a automotive supplier, and has access to loads of goodies including top of the range paints by Spies Hecker and De Beer

I'll get an epoxy primer and alloy wheel paint in silver, which should sustain some punishment
