Hey All..

Just decided to make another appearance haha...

Just wanted to see if anyone had the same experence as me and all but i have noticed that my wheel hubs and rusting... once i wipe it off it has gone but i looks really ugly i was going to paint them to hide this but is it a hard job... i don't wanna start myself and stuff it up... got any advice?

i think this is the case for all corollas, never really bothered me though. I have seen some ppl paint it but ill live with it.

Welcome to the world of disc brakes... they all rust like that, it's perfectly normal.

Go and visit a car yard and see the cars that have been sitting outside for a few weeks, then you realise yours aren't so bad... smile.gif

Well paint them!! IT's not really that hard so just mask all the areas you don't want to paint and then prep the area you want to paint and then start spraying.

Go and get yourself some VHT heat proof paint for brakes and have a ball smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif ...

My hubs were already black when I bought the car new, so no rust look. Not sure y yours are rusty, maybe pre-facelifts didnt get painted hubs.
