why didnt wet paint keep the brake dust off my rims? - 4/1/2007 5:05:04 PM    thunder_x Posts: 953 Joined: 10/2/2005 From: southern california Status: offline i applied some wet paint on my rims after i washed my car last week, and it seems the brake dust has come back could it be that i didnt apply enough of it? because i was mostly spraying the wet paint on the spokes of the rims, and spreading it from there, could that be why? because the spokes dont have brake dust, its just the lip and the inside of the rim _____________________________ Project 91 ACCORD-193k miles All-Motor F22A1 cb7tunercom/vbb/showthread.php?t=108490 Post #: 1

You need to buy some brake shields if you want it completely stopped. _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 2

I still have the OEM pads on mine and they don't dust at all, that's a first for me. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 7

It may have something to do with the heat generated when braking, I don't really know. Once again two layers is better than one if for no reason other than assuring full coverage. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 12
