Hi all, me again.

With the planned move to new alloys gaining momentum, I am looking for a decent paint to tidy up the wheel hubs as they will be even more visible through the wheels.

From new, obviously hubs are silver but after 16 months or so, a light film of rust is beginning to appear.

So, anybody recommend a tough, easy to apply (by brush?) silver paint that fairly closely matches the original?

I was considering Hammerite but open to suggestions...

Hammerite Smooth

Used it many times .......on Hubs and Calipers

Foliatec is regarded as one of the best in the business, costs more than Hammerite, but it out performs it on all levels http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/caliper-paint/foliatec-brake-caliper-paint-and-engine-lacquer

I have used both the Hammerite and Foliatec products on my cars present and past.

 

For the hubs - Hammerite Silver is very good and durable - currently on my R36 hubs infact 

 

But FYI - for brake calipers i have tended to opt for the Foliatec products.

As usual, you guys deliver, that's what makes this forum so good.

Thank you all.

You're welcome & enjoy

Normally any decent engine enamel will work fine on the discs and there are loads of colours to choose from. Black works well on darker colour alloys
