Title: Couple of questions... Rear hubs, vwr bottom mount...
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on June 21, 2011, 09:26:47 pm: Who has painted the centre of the rear discs? What paint did you use? Saw some Hammerite spray on fleabay but havent seen anything like it over here in Germany.

Also whats the lifespan on the VWR lower mount?

Thanks in advance!

Cant find a spray hammerite type paint over here. I reckon normal paint wouldnt take without primer or would chip easier???

Anyone?

Did you use normal hammerite with a brush or find a hammerite spray? Cant find anything like it over here in Germany :-(
