I used silver Hammerite on all my Porsches, works a treat and doesn't come off.

There is a fair difference in price between the Zimmerman efforts and a set from OPC!

Why don't you use zinc primer, that's how they come from the factory, then put a coat of laquer over the top, keeps them looking oem, plus the laquer helps keep them fresh looking, as the brake dust doesn't tend to stick.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There was a top tip in this months "Porsche Post" to treat unsightly rusty rear brake hubs with heat resistant Hammerite. Anyone tried this?
The only heat resistant Hammerite I can find in radiator enamel in white, not appropriate!
My rear brake hubs are a bit rusty and I fancy a tidy up. So I've got some normal smooth grey Hammerite, does anyone know if its heat resistant enough to last?
Thanks.

I painted my Corrado calipers 3+ years ago with black smoothrite...............still look black to this day and have stood up to the heat well

I bought some black heat resistant Hammerite from my local Halfords last year - I'm sure it's still available?
The heat resistance stuff is thinner, so goes on flat. The trouble with normal hammerite is it's too thick and will probably not look smooth.

I have read somewhere that factory discs have a coating on the 'hub' section (haven't got my car to look at and can't remember) whereas the Zimmerman replacements (apparently the OE manufacturer) are not coated and go rusty.
There is a fair difference in price between the Zimmerman efforts and a set from OPC! What price a rusty hub?
