All painted ready to bolt on!
Got all my bones, trailing arms, panhard rod, uprights etc painted up. Used Hammerite Stonechip. Really pleased with the finish. Just need to paint
the chassis up now and then final assembly can commence!

Somebody will now mention that you shouldn't have painted the disk mounting faces.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

I did actually think that. But I doubt 0.5mm of paint will make much odds to the disc runout. If it does, i'll blast it off.

I saw the pictures of your hubs earlier on and was impressed with the finish on them.
However it was this picture that made me start the thread about painting brake disc and wheel mating faces.

Still impressed with your work though well done.

It only takes a tiny variation in thickness at the hub to cause significant runout at the edge of the disc. A quick once over with e.g. a stanely
blade should remove the paint very easily.
