I am might be getting my hands on a disc wheel soon and converting it track. The thing is its got a braking surface on it like this one

How would I cover the brake surface to make it blend in with the rest of the disc?

I was thinking of aerosol but I am sure there is something less messy?

Head for Halfords or nearest equivalent and get yourself a black auto paint touch up pen

Now the question I want answered is how do I blend the braking surface on my gold Campy rims with braking surface ;)

I have an old Ambrosio track disc, some idiot used it with a brake in a TT (it's a composite disc with no braking surface) so it was a bit ugly... I used Plastic Padding to hide the marks, and to hide a few other bumps on it, worked fine, and the disc looks really nice painted white with a rattlecan.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
