Smiffy69 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was thinking about "tarting" up the brake discs over winter and painting the rusty bits. Has anyone done this? What Paint did you use? (Vaguely remember a post from SM25T about it a while ago but can't find it) cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yes indeed ..... wire brush, emery cloth, solvent clean then brush paint with black Smoothrite The inner bits and outer rim that don't get cleaned by the pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin J Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Are the discs the standard solid ones or vented? I obtained new solid discs for mine from a triumph parts supplier for just £10 each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myothercarsa2cv Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd go for silver. I'll probably do this to any new discs I buy, but it doesn't seem worth the effort for old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
