Calipers & hubs - was it a mistake?

[paulgs1000]

A good job but I still think it would be worth painting those hubs silver - I would worry that they won't stay like that and will rust up within a few weeks if not days. Painting the hubs silver is such an easy job in comparison to the effort in removing the rust continuously - or have you coated them with something? The finished job makes the hubs look clean and new for much longer. You're certainly working at it though - whatever you end up doing it's a big improvement.

:driving:

Yes, I finally decided I will do all hubs in grey, it looks definitely nicer and smarter... the only thing is to find the time, I've been busy all week-ends so far. But holidays are on sight now, so I shall have everything done by soon!

And if I have enough paint, I will do the fence around the house too :lol:

As I completed the four wheels (yes, I've done it!), below are some pictures of the final result.
Well, you saw the first wheel, so I have done the three others the same way. But to celebrate the end of the work, I decided to go for a little ride to the nearest cool road. 8)









Cheers.

I fancy M-sport Blue for my Calipers. Any idea where I could find the correct shade?

I painted mine hammerite smooth blue. It's in between the bmw badge blue and not quite as dark as the msport blue. If I knew how to post pics I would show you. I think it looks good anyway.

You can check Foliatec's colours, they've a blue which is not to different from M-sport (or I got it wrong).

The product is really of good quality (if you don't mind the brush in the kit...). It just requires a good cleaning of the caliper's parts and a bit of care not to spill the paint where you don't want it, i.e. brake lines :wink:
