I never got round to taking a pic of the finished thing, only did one side as it took ages sanding it down and getting all the rust off!

He should be ok with the drums due to it not generating that much temp, but with calipers etc, get the hammerite out.

The normal paint still wont last as long though on the drums!

You dont want to drag attention to a set of drums. Get them black and hidden!

Well As Stated, If your Doing the Callipers, Then you'll need hi Temp Paint, ie Hammerite, All i done for the drums, was Wire brush them Down, and A Couple of coats of Primer, Then Black Pain, Then the Laquer, I know at some point i'll have to do them again, but better than looking rusty,

Also Keeping them subtle is the way forward i say! Rather than red etc, No offence to anyother person that has done this, just i dont like things over the top on vag cars, Euro Way always !
