i got the cragar soft 8s (black) and although its not really a big deal, it kind of bothers me looking at the rusty hubs. for a cheap remedy id like to paint them black, but it could look even worse if the blacks didnt match. what kind of paint do i need to use on that, and what about clear coating? any other options?

 

If you want them painted any high-temp black paint should work. If you want them "pretty" you can have them powder-coated any color you like.

 

rustoleum high temp gloss black....worked great and matched up with my cragar soft 8s

 

use vht epoxy. comes in gloss or satin. does not need primer and holds up great. just sand them well and then clean them with some dawn and maybe some paint thinner or your wife acetone.
