npanne Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Was looking yesterday at the rear drums sitting forlornly in the garage awaiting some attention. They are a right old mess, and I was always planning to just clean them up and give them a coat of caliper paint, however I've just received my refurbished calipers back from Bigg Red (highly recommend them - they've done a great job), and the polymer coating on these looks so good I'm thinking of seeing whether they can do the drums too.Then I remembered reading on here someone saying not to paint the mating surfaces (think that was in the context of a spacer, but same principle), as the wheel nuts are then liable to work loose - thoughts?

WIMPUS Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've painted mine with heat resistant paint and but a heat resistant clear coat over them , then they shine a bit more ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGRob Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You might want to try a set of these - no painting required ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npanne Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 They are lovely - but they are also pricey, and I'm not sure that they make them in GT6 size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
