Well, I bit the bullet today and hauled the wheels off AGAIN......All the neighbours think I'm crackers[]
I decided to repaint the calipers and the hub too. These are really rusty and terrible looking and you can see them thru the alloys ( you dont even have to look too carefully either[&:])
It totally takes away from the refurbished alloys and clean wheel wells.
Anyway, I did all four in silver as previously posted.
See for yourself :-

Unpainted caliper and hub:-


painted caliper and hub:-


Unfortunately my batteries ran out, but I also painted the face of the hub as if you look thru your rims you can see a portion of it and it dont look pretty[&:]
Does now though
I'll try and take some tomorrow with the rims on so you can see what I mean!

Looks good man. It's amazing what a little paint can do. I did mine this past weekend in gloss black.

Jim, I hope you painted those green shocks.
Any new pics?

 

Lol.......no I didnt Michael ( paint the shocks I mean ) I guess I should really do a 310 type of job which was great, I just dont have as much time as I'd like though.
In the process of refurbing the other set of alloys I have at the moment and still need to apply another coat to the mufflers / back boxes!
