Painted brake drums
Just got around to doing this today. Since I got rims, the rear drums were just looking hideous. So I busted out the tools and painted them today.
Before with just the rust knocked off.
Painted.
With the wheel back on.
I painted them matte aluminum to make them look similar to the front calipers since I didn't want to paint those right now. It looks a lot better.

Yeah mine we're rough. I couldn't believe how bad they were for only being a 4 year old car. But I knew I didn't want to paint the front stock calipers cause I figured it would be attempting to make them look fancier then the stock cheap ones they are. And there is a lot of black on the car already so I want sure that I wanted to put even more black on it or how it would look with black drums and matte silver front calipers so that's why I went with the color I did for the rears. But I'm really pleased with how it turned out and how simple it was to do. Start to finish only took me a couple of hours to do both sides.

I used Duplicolor caliper paint and no clear coat. I just knocked the rust down, shot it with brake cleaner/degreaser, then put 3 coats of paint down. It seemed pretty glossy and smooth with just the paint and said it should hold up without it.
If I have any problems with longevity of it I will redo them and do a clear over them though.

This reminds me i gotta black my drums. Lol. But it actually looks pretty good op. I usually hate any color but black on drums. Yours doesnt stand out too bad. Thanks for not going with red.
