HahaHa..... Only if we're lucky
Been "Up North" a year now and realising that it's not quite as warm as Sunny Portsmouth.
Houses a lot cheaper though, so more to spend on the car.

Now the weather has warmed up enough for the paint to go on nicely I’ve made a start on painting the bells on the discs with smooth Hammerite. Next job is get the car out more to get a shine on the braking surface
need to get plenty of miles in over the moors to polish those discs
All 4 discs now done , about an hour per wheel Gave the alloys a good clean and wax inside and out at the same time. The edge of the discs still, have rust but the now bells look brand new unless you are right up to the wheels. This has got to one of the cheapest improvement you can make with the biggest impact on the car. Everything looked great except the bottom of the discs, which my eye was constantly drawn to. The smooth Hammerite silver was £6 and 12 half inch brushes where £5 off Fleabay (use em and throw em!). I’ve only used a small amount of paint so plenty left. I reckon this was well under £1 a corner, car now looks way better. The fronts are a lot easier to do as you can spin the disc and work from the top. The rears are more tricky as you have to paint it in one position. If you’re thinking of doing it , don’t forget to paint your Nuts 
A few other folk on here have used Hammerite and I’ve not seen any adverse comments. Time will tell, brakes look way better painted
