FK2 Wheel disc-hub refurb

Messages
11
Hi all,

Doing a bit of cosmetic work on the hubs all round as the standard Honda disc connecting hubs go rusty and it really lets the look of the car down. They are pretty much new disc and pads from when I last had the car last serviced so nothing other than re-greasing the pins and pads when installing again.

Just got some black hammerite and took off the disc to then mask off and spray - 2 coats.

See images below of before and after. Was a fiddly job but I think smartens up the car. I also did the locking nuts as the outside suffers from going rusty on the flat area.

Quick question - should I bleed the brakes? I removed the callipers and pads from the disc but didn’t disconnect any brake lines etc so shouldn’t be needed?

Thanks Chloe

Chloe,
I just love your masking off! Cutting a hole in a sheet of card might have been easier, but hey ho. And no, you won’t have to bleed your brakes, just pump them a couple of times after refitting.
 
Nice work Chloe !!

Hammerite spray is just right for these parts.
I bought brand new discs for the Clio 200 and the front Brembos were coated but the rear Pagids weren't. I put 3 or 4 coats on both as I remember.

They still look fine a couple of years on.

Good work whipping the discs off, saves overspray going all over the place
 
Thanks guys! Yes taking the disc off required patience with those grub screws - those things don’t want to come off!

Happy with the finish - i didn’t know whether to buy the black oem wheel nuts to finish it off but might just wait off for a bit as they are quite costly!
