MMM Polished hub carrier!
Hi all,
Thought i would post up some pics of todays work.
I spent the whole day sanding and polishing until my fingers actually started bleeding.
I only got one hub carrier done but i am happy with the result. I am using a 5 spoke wheel, so wanted the hub to look nice since it will be visible.
 
Has anyone got any recommendations on coatings? It would need to be heat resistant. Im currently planning to leave it how it is, but a clear would make maintenance easier.

You are gonna hate yourself for polishing those as it's a PITA to keep that way.
For a clear coating try this: http://ppcco.com.au/topcoat_glistenpc.htm
An alternative which looks good is to give the carriers a good sand and remove casting ridges etc.
Give them a coat of POR15 silver which has a high aluminium solids content, sand the POR15 to achieve a perfect serface then follow with a coat of POR15 Stirling Silver. ( same site as above link)
Wear gloves when using POR15 as the only way to get it off your skin is to wait till the skin sheds.

But it looks cool! I dont think silver paint looks as good, although anything is better than the ugly rough casting.
I was looking at the the Glisten kit on their web site. Im just not sure it will take the heat and brake dust. Mind you they say it can be used on carby's and intake manifolds which can get pretty hot. They are just up the road from me so i might drop in on my way past to work.

Liam, I have never been disappointed with any POR15 product. The products cannot be compared with any other paint system.

ZOOPSEAL might work....it withstands heat good and stays shiny. I've used it all over my engine.
Nice work by the way.
Good Luck.

Liam,
Excuse me if I don't comment on this one. The last time I opened my mouth on one of your Threads saw 90 responses and 2,234 hits in 11 days. 
All I'll say is "Looks Good Man,"

I just gave mine a good coating of grease, oil and road grim.
Took a good 6 months or so to get the coating just right.
Matches the diff, tranny and sump beautifully.  |

I love your patience, you must be in less of a hurry to finish your car as I am to finish mine.
Please keep posting pic's, we love great work!

No, just waiting to move into my new garage so i can paint and reassemble the suspension. I can't spray 2 pack in a unit block, might get some unhappy light headed neighbours!
I am actually in more of a hurry now with the ESC scare (but thats a whole other thread).
Baz, thats ok, those statistics are a good sign for that other thread though.
Liam
