[quote][i]Originally posted by Fonz[/i] £5 and 5 hours later on the weekend i painted my drums and thought i wud write a quick tutuorial to show how quick it is and just! please note i took my guide from the one found in FAQs [url=http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=316489]painting drums[/url] firstly i needed to gather the following eqiupment [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image078.jpg[/img] (left to right) wheel brace (and alloy key socket if applicable) wire brush Jack Axle stand (x2?) Paint - I used Hammerite straight to rust, Hammered Gold Masking Tape various size paint brushes Degreaser the before shot [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image079.jpg[/img] place the axles stand along the sill as this is a suitable strong chassis point to support your vehicle once the wheel is off you'll be faced with something like this [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image080.jpg[/img] after 20-30 mins with the wire brush will look more like this [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image081.jpg[/img] and after another 20-30mins with the degreaser and rust off* more like this **note a bolt has been fitted to aid spinning the drum** [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image082.jpg[/img] super tidy!! :thumbs: at this point i run out of time for the day (i cleaned both drums) so had to put the wheel back on which looked like this [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image086.jpg[/img] :cool: clean!! the next day i continued where i left off ready to prepare for painting using the masking tape to leave a sharp line and avoid unnecessary painting **please note newspaper was laid down to catch paint from staining the driveway** [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image087.jpg[/img] once happy with the masking i started with the paint (following the tins instructions - thick first coat) paint: [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/image106.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image088.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/image089.jpg[/img] this was left to dry for an hour before adding the second coat ***note to avoid dripping marks in the paint, spin the wheel every 5-10mins*** once the second coat is on and dry...... [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image092.jpg[/img] .....the masking tape can be removed leaving you free to enjoy the work [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image095.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image094.jpg[/img] replace the wheel and the work is done!! [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image097.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image098.jpg[/img] As you can see when i was doing this i lost the light on Sun evenin so took some day liht shots today and shows the paint with a better finish now it hardned over night [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image100.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image102.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/Image101.jpg[/img] :cool: :P :cool: *i can highly recommend the use of W5 spray once wired brushed i used the anti-rust spray first which loosen the rust left on the drum then used the Engine cleaners as a degreser which really did clean the surface up a treat [img]http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4900/image103.jpg[/img] [/quote]
