Also.. dont paint the face of the disc which the wheel mounts too.  :laugh:

Rich, is there a particular reason for this?

I'd probably be careful to also cover the torx screw which holds the disc to the hub too...

I used hammerite smooth silver, and didn't bother masking off the discs...the pads do a pretty good job of removing any excess which gets on them  :grin:

The last thing you want is the paint moving about = loose wheel...  :scared:
