While detailing my Speedster, I noticed that the zinc (?) paint covering my rotor hubs were discolored. With a little “Goo Gone” and a lot of elbow grease, I was able to remove the zinc coating to reveal very bright rotor hubs.

My question is; the zinc coating was there to prevent rusting up…. Is there any kind of clear coating I can use to prevent rust – but won’t yellow over time? As the disc and rotor hub appear to be one piece, I would imagine the hub would heat up under braking.

Any ideas the type of clear coat that would work?? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Brad, if you remove the dull gray coating that the factory has on the hubs, when you wash your car and take it for a "spin dry"...you will certainly get rust goop all over your nice and clean wheels. <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" />

Been there, done that...a million times.

I have seen several people paint their hubs, either gray, black, even purple!

Either way, high temp. paint should be used...try engine block orange if you want to be "different".

I painted my front ones with an anti rust heat resistant paint. It looks much better than all the rust spots.
