^+1 that is probably the best way to get something like that done!

I've had good experience with the G2 brake Caliper paint.

I was contemplating G2 and for street I'm sure it'd hold up but no clue if it'd last on the track.

I have seen a handful of guys use some high temp paint on their hubs at the track and have not had a problem.

This would probably be your best route to prevent any future rust.

My solution: Hot soapy water, a green Scotch-Brite pad, then mask and shoot with Dupli-Color 500 degree Engine Enamel in "CAST IRON". Very durable!

Yea seriously!

Love that color!

I don't think I would have painted the surface where the wheel mates to the hub. There is no way you got that perfectly smooth and flat with paint.

Apex_L8 · 09-04-2011, 10:59 AM

curious, when you paint the hub like that...does it make it make the rotor retain heat?

Is there anyone in San Diego willing to do something like this? :-)
