Refurb nasty discs and calipers

[charlie8]

£7.95 for the paint and a bit of grinding and wire brushing

Sits on a dark blue body - so wanted something that blends not stands out. Painted the rim to save more rust

Went a bit OTT on the copper grease going back in, so looks like thats where the rust particles went ....

Looks like a neat job,
Did you use spray paint or a tin and brush?

High temp paint for calipers, stove paint for springs ( although does not look black in photos its a nice matt finish, just to save going rusty again - prob do wheel nuts also )

I tried the grinding wheel on the rear discs, but once the rust was cut back they were so pitted I got new. And was amazed to get OEM new parts for only ~£70 at the dealers. So easy to strip this stuff down too

Wheel refurb is next - thats gonna take a lot longer ....

How long had the car been stood? those discs look very rusty.

IMO the grey looks unfinished. Black or silver would look better and still not stand out.

Get some high temp silver on there
