I meant to say that the whole of the hub was painted, hubs and brake plate etc.

Yep, I got that. It starts to get into the question of trying to make a perfect replica (where I probably won't get to in any case), or getting a really stunning look, like Wozza's.

Thanks chaps,
I've mirror finished both sides and the centre ribs are real shiny and it seems a shame to paint it. I'm thinking about using Poorboys. I'm not restoring it to stock, and it will only be a sunny Sunday ride.

By the way I used the information that you guys posted to sand from 60 grit up to 1000 before using white soap on a stitched mop for a mirror finish.
Thanks guys !
