Wrightpayne Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Doing some work on the tintop which involves replacing several brake pipes, both rigid and flexible.there are a couple of little brackets that bolt to the hub carrier and hold the flexi pipe.They are a little bit rusty so want to clean them up and paint them.Do we think that etch primer and halfords satin black will be OK due to its proximity to the disc? Prob 4” away and in airflow.RegardsIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 No problem at all !! 4" away ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Heat as mentioned would not be a problem, but not sure how Halfords Satin Black will deal with soaking and drying cycles with road salt. One of the many Hammerites might be more durable and give better film build on the bracket edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I use Hammerite smooth black .... works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hmmm - bought some brush on silver smooth hammerite last week and it doesn't quite seem as good as the old stuff.Its on my Porsche 911 so unlikely to get used in the really bad weather. There is also plenty of metal left on the brackets so dont think they’ll be disappearing soon and anything I do will prolong their life.I’ll ponder tonight and paint tomorrow.CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted June 5, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted June 5, 2018 Have you checked you haven't got a local company that does powdercoating? If it's just black you are after, they woud probably add your brackets to the other batches they are doing for not a great deal of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
