Lexx Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I assume you just mean the disc centers (since the car doesnt have drums!) Wire brush them, and use a tin of Hammerite to clean them up - Take the wheels off to do this! You don't want Hammerite on your Nismo's. I've done this on a few cars.

Spidermonk Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Drums? Glad I'm not the only one confused by this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I assume you mean the bell area on the disc? Easy enough to clean up and give a coat of smooth hammerite or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlp Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sorry I know the zed doesn't have drums but couldn't think of the correct word! Lol Cheers guys looks like a bit of Hammerite when it warms up then. What colour would you guys go for? Silver? Black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Black will look awful against silver wheels. Paint them silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris AME Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 On my old micra a couple of years back I wire brushed my rear drums, degreased with some thinners then painted them gloss black. I assume you mean the centre part of the disc where the wheel bolts to? If so No reason why you couldn't do this on a the centre centre part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I assume you mean the bell*nd on the disc? That's not very nice Stew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
