A Quick Saturday Morning Project

[Grizzly]

Our Boxster had been driven in several days of bad weather and desperately needed a bath. When I went out to do it Saturday morning the first thing that caught my eye were the nasty looking rotor hats. They were zinc plated when new, but the plating on the face didn't hold up. I'd been trying to ignore them, but I just couldn't take it anymore.




So, I pulled the wheels, scuffed the rust off of the rotor hats, masked them off real good and sprayed them with Eastwood's Silver Cadmium paint. It took me about two hours. I'm much happier now. What do you think?

Nice! Mine probably look the same as your's used to, but they're covered by my wheels.

You did get around to washing the car, right? Cool wheels....

I brushed mine black with rustoleum for the same reason, nice job you did. Those are awesome looking wheels, I'll bet they would look cool with those trim caps you can buy for the lugs, maybe black. With the large ovoid openings around the lug it looks like you wouldn't have the removal problem posed by the deep narrow OEM sockets.

Great job! Looks good!

Good job, looks clean!

I'll do mine when I change out the new rotors, for now, I'll live with the rust.

are the top hats separate?
or are they part of the rotors?
