Default Rota Slipstreams?

Okay, you know how on the Slipstreams there is no center piece. Well, you know that part of the car that you can see through that hole in the wheel?? (sorry, i have no idea what its called). Is it possible to take a brillow pad to it and paint it???? Mine is all rusty and it makes my car look like crap!!!!

No... Sorry, i wasnt really that specific. I meant take the brillow pad to scratch off all of the rust in there, and then paint the area that i just cleaned with the brillow pad black or something like that. So all the brillow pad is doing is taking off the rust.

Use a wire brush. On the rear you can get a shiny new replacement dustcap from honda. They're cheap. On the front, just use some spray paint.

I've also heard of people painting that part black with a high temp. paint. The color doesn't bother me though. Wire brush should do the trick.

Rust proof paint - WD40.

Are you talking about center caps?? Yeah my Slips came with carbon fiber center caps didn't yours??



If your didn't come with them get a sanding disc for a drill and use that to remove the rust and then put some high temp paint on the center cap area.

I didn't sand the rusty stuff off, but I just spray painted the spindles a dark gray....Don't even miss not having a center cap.
