On my Corsa I used Black Hammerite. Works fine. Just wire brush them before hand to get any rust off

Hammerite and go over with a wire brush wheel in a drill to prep.

On your car you won't need to wire brush it TBH, it won't have rusted in the space of a year.

you cunt, they haven't rusted at all, only 4 months old, they just have residue on them which looks like spunk tbh

probably just cleaning stuff left over from cleaning the wheels. so could i just paint straight on?

and will a 250ml tub of smooth black hammerite be enough?

thanks

Did my calipers and drums today with a small can of hammerite, not sure what the exact measurements of it are though, you don't need much
