He means the bell part that isn't a braking surface.

I used VHT black on mine and it's lasted ok?

Brush or aerosol hammerite last great, used it on loads of different cars and lasts well. The vht aerosol stuff it turd in my opinion, just comes off very quickly and dosent last especially if you use the brakes hard
