hey, i got a red LS. I just got motegi chroms rims, i'll post pics maybe tomorrow. I want to paint the calipers and drums either red or black, but i'm thinkin the red drum would look dumb. what do you guys think about paintin them a glossy black color? Think it would look good on the red car with chrome rims.

I have the same exact problem I can't decide between red or black paint, or if i should paint the drums too. I think if i went with black I'd do both but if i went with red I'd probably just do the calipers.

yeah iron, i was thinkin the same thing. i could do the calipers red and the drums black or both the same color? hard choice lol. if i painted them red and didnt like it would i be able to paint over in black?

hey i got an LS also and i got my motegi's and a drop last weekend, i just painted my front calibers blue and i think this weekend im doin the rear drums black, but when you paint the calibers you will be very please....i will post pics this weekend maybe.

Yeah, if you don't want to get any grief from anyone, black is a really good color to go with on the drums.

I painted mine black (although I did my calipers black, too) and I think it made a huge difference. I didn't really want to show off my drums, which is why I didn't go with color, but do whatever you feel like. It's your car, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I would definitely go with red calipers on a red car. That's what I did. I'm not a big fan of the red Dupli Color caliper kit though; my friend used high temp paint from Lowe's on mine and it matches the victory red a lot more than the Dupli Color paint does.

i've seen red/blue/all kinds of colored drums and they all look like crap in my opinion... stick to black

Thanks. I think im gunna go with the red in the front for the calipers and the black for the drums. sound good? dos gm make any high temp paint that will match the car or am i better off just getting a kit?

ironkoijak

yeah man i think i am gonna do the same thing. let me know how it goes, i just gotta wait for it to warm up around here then ill be at it. I have no idea if GM makes color matching high temp paint, but personally im not too worried about it, from what ive seen the paint in kits still looks good. i have the duplicolor kit just chillen in my room waiting for a warm day. those drum brakes suck. lol
