Brake Drum Covers.
On my old 206, i painted my drums, but i didnt like how it still had marks ect, even though i spent ages sanding and scraping all the dirt and rust of, so im wondering if there's a solution of plastic brake drum covers? i noticed a fiesta had it the other day and wondered if that was anygood? and even out there?

i got an electric drill with a wire brush attachment on mine and smoothed them right down, went over it with a wet sponge to get the dust off then went over with some wet&dry and claened it with soapy water then a thick coat of black hammerite, worked ok for me!

I did the same ant. I think it was a Terrios I saw the other day with drum covers made to look like brake disks. I laughed.
