Default Painting your calipers & hubs

Its fairly simple, and i'm sure most of you know how to do it,
but if you had a few questions abuot it, then hopefully this will answer them!

What you need:

- a wire brush

- an old rag
- some high temp brake paint (you can buy it at repco or supercheap)
- masking tape

What to do:

- make sure the discs aren't hot, you'll be touching them!
- Firstly take the wheel off the car!
- now take the wire brush and scrub the caliper and the hub as much as you can to get all of the dust/rust off


- next mask up the disc just so you don't get paint all over it, a little bit of paint here and there on the discs won't get too much stuck in the pad, but try to keep it to a minimum.

Default

- after it has been painted, leave it for a few minutes for the paint to be dry enough to touch!


- put the rag over the hub best you can, try get it under the caliper as well, then just spray the caliper


- put the wheel back on!
