Hi,
I have read all the posts about painting the Brake disc's covers and drums but i was wondering... i have a tin of hammerite paint can i use that on the drums and disc covers ? or do i need to buy another type of paint ?
I have read post on the tinternet too and they all seem to think it works fine if not better then other paints
cheers
Jamie

hammerite is fine to use. just mask the discs etc up well if your not taking the calipers etc off .

I did mine 2.5 years ago when I still had alloys on. WHEN the car's clean, the finish is still brilliant.
Hammerite ftw.

i wouldnt paint any pipes mate, certainly not rubber ones like brake hoses etc, they would probably flake aswell.

this can be done 1 at a time, tip though. turn the wheesl to the right. give you better access to the bolts and rear of caliper.
