Painting the Hubs

Postby SteveS » Sun Jul 24, 2011 6:10 pm

I've noticed the hubs on my 1 are looking a bit cruddy and in need of some attention, can anyone recommend a make of paint or treatment. I intend doing it myself and wondered if anyone has attempted this? I've done a bit of looking on tinternet and seen the Foliatec kits but not seen any reviews any advice welcome.

Cheers.

I just used Hammerrite paint - Just sand it down before hand although that paint paints onto rust and everything, its pretty good paint to be fair.
