DanGersFord Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Im due to fit some shiny new black alloys to my fiesta mk 6. Before i put them on id like to either clean up my rear brake drums which have become a horrible rust colour. Is this possible it to do this and protect it to prevent it from happening again or is it just better to replace them? Also has anyone uprated their brake pads/would it be worth doing? cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The drums bay be cleaned up with a wire brush and a good coating with primer and paint. Unless the insides are scored or lipped they will not need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Whack a coat of Hammerite on, that's what I and many others have done ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 The drums are cheap enough to buy im considering just buying new ones and painting them. Just easier than cleaning them cus im a lazy git haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Sounds fair, I'd recommend new pads too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well I'm looking to uprate my discs can you get uprated pads aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightcarBev Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I was going to say clean them But if Im honest with myself I would also buy new ones. The winter days are just to sort for wire brushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
