Yeah racing brake, and Hawk HPS pads - the curb rash is bad I know - I've looked into getting it repaired but it's so expensive. I bought the car used in Chicago with 12k miles on it last year and I am fairly certain the guy who owned it before me parked on the street and wasn't so hot at parallel parking - it's on all 4 wheels.

I got my rash fixed on 3 wheels including reshaping one wheel and then redoing the finish on the wheels for $300 cash. Mobile wheel repair

Was Mobile Wheel Repair the name of the place that did them? Looks like there is a place called Alloy wheel repair with a franchised shop not too far from me - maybe I'll check it out

nadda it might have been alloy wheel repair i cant remember but it was that sort of service. you gotta let em know you have a price in mind and ur paying cash. cuz if you let them come up wit the price after the service is done I'm sure they will charge you more..

Alright, I wasn't sure if some of those mobile services would do a good job or not - but I'll look into that for sure - thanks for the tip

He did a good job in my case. Fortunately I ruined that good job by now with more rash but ya

Duplicolor and i also painted the hub part of my rotors...the part that's usually rusty in all the pictures(unless they are new rotors) just pained that black and looks real clean

I did this these last 2 weekends the painting is easy, hardest part is the prep work paint doesn't stick to rust/dirt everything must be cleaned. Its not a difficult project just time consuming for the prep/pain dry/second coat I used brush on paint you cannot tell the calipers are rough so you cannot see strokes at all.

The wheel hubs themselves may also be painted, especially noticeable if you have an open hub wheel design such as the Enkei RPF1 (well, open if you don't want to pay silly money for the caps).

Of course as the calipers the hubs must be wire brushed of any rust and degreased as part of the prep for painting.
