Ah not heard this before, but with the wheel back on mine you can see around 3/4 of an inch of the face all the way round. I've seen some not bother to mask it at all and paint the whole thing... I wasn't brave enough to risk it.kis wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 1:45 pmfirebobby wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 5:28 pmI need to do this too... found out you shouldn't paint the disc hub area?

Is the rust dust anything to worry about?

Almost finished painting the backs of four new disks. Decided against spraying the mating surfaces as per my recent thread. I’ll get the fronts done hopefully next weekend and then they can go on as and when I get a minute.

Deep cleaned the inside of the car after my poor wife was violently I’ll inside! Seats out, vax on max. Toothbrush in the seat runners. Vacuum the inside of the door pockets. Strip the door. Lovely!

No idea mate! Saw your other post but didn’t know what the cause / outcome was. I’ll be doing the rocker at some point so wanted to know if the dust was an issue? Or is it just superficial rust?DaveZ4richardson wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 4:56 pmNo coils were fine.

Oh dear! Hope she’s okay Paul. There seems to be a lot of nasty flu and colds going round this winter!
