Rusty hubs

[smitti52]

Hi All.
My hubs have a bit of unsightly surface rust.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to best way of dealing with the problem.
If the hubs can be painted what is the most suitable paint to use.
Cheers

use a wire wheel and then hit it up with VHT high temp paint which is listed suitable for drums, calipers and indeed rotors.

simples.

And you could also use Deoxidine acid that kills rust and gives the metal some 'teeth' for the paint to stick to, just swab it on with some scotch brite abrasive pads, and then wash it off with hot water, and paint straight away, before it rusts, for paint i use from Repco, Power Plus high temperature fully gloss black paint, that always works a treat, i have brackets that i painted 10 years ago, that are still good, Colin.

to be honest, if the rotors are used, just deal with it until you can replace em and just go for factory painted slotted brembo max.... still cheaper than locally sourced oem discs...

i can see you're running standard 284mm, so they are available from alfisti and a few others..
