The hubs on my MK3 were nice and shiny years ago, however they were almost impossible to keep polished due to access. Has anybody in the NOC world ever painted the hubs, i have considered powdercoating the hubs or using Cerakote ceramic coating to try and make them easier to clean.

Kind regards,
Ian
