i like black...

nvez · 06-21-2008, 11:41 PM

Black/Dark silver, try to make it as low-profile as possible because usually visible drum brakes are not pretty to see, honestly.

WHo paints drums? Dont do that.. its pointless, its doenst hold up well, and its hella ricy. U have a nice loooking car. If you want to paint something do the calipers. Just my 2 cents.

black. or just leave them the OEM color which is pretty much black anyway....

asm 06sedan · 06-22-2008, 12:03 AM

ya I like the OEM and would hate to paint drums but they look kind of rusty colored and I had the car for almost 2 years but my dads new civic has drums and they look black but they are OEM

asm 06sedan · 06-22-2008, 12:04 AM

how can i create a poll?
I want it to say black, silver or dont paint them.
Mods Help plz

***illusionstwice*** · 06-22-2008, 12:07 AM

u need to be VIP to do a poll. A mod will be able to add one though. I honestly think it wont look good, but do you.

i wouldn't bother with painting drums...looks kinda "rice" imo
but if you insist to i say go with black nothing bright like red/blue/yellow

asm 06sedan · 06-22-2008, 12:58 AM

Ya I dont want to paint them just wanting to hear your oppinions about it
Thanks for commeting!

***mattsbobo*** · 06-22-2008, 01:44 AM

To the OP: Let me get this straight. You DON"T want to draw attention to the drums, yet you want to paint them a color that would draw more attention to them?

T117 · 06-22-2008, 01:53 AM

I would leave them as is, just my opinion

holtzy08si · 06-22-2008, 02:00 AM

black and paint your front calipers black to match

KameraBoy · 06-22-2008, 04:06 AM

rainbow.

xheartcore_boyx · 06-22-2008, 05:29 AM

paint them black .. there is NOTHING rice about it !

oem is black .. so its like refreshing the color of them ..

holtzy08si · 06-22-2008, 05:39 AM

if you paint them make sure you use high temp caliper paint, IMO nothing looks worse than pealing paint on drums.
duplicolor

or
G2 Brake Caliper Paint System

Black dude. He wants to paint em black. I think the silver idea is because they would match the rims and maybe not be noticed.

I don't see any reason why black wouldn't be perfect. Do it right and it will last a long time. Good plan man I think I may do that too. The rust looks very poor. I wish I got the rear discs.

PrEgO CaNe · 06-22-2008, 03:56 PM

i painted mine today. i chose black looks pretty good. doesn't stand out but looks better then the rust. hope this helps ya make a choice.

asm 06sedan · 06-22-2008, 05:34 PM

^^^ did u use the brush or spray?
that looks better than rust lol but too glossy for my taste maybe it looks that way cause they are freshly painted?
i want something like when the car came OEM if u know what I mean sort of flat black
Is there any other shades of black or thats the only one for the caliper paint?

PrEgO CaNe · 06-22-2008, 06:12 PM

i used the brush took some time but was easier and cleaner. i took the pics right after i finished so they might get dull as it dries. i know what you mean about the flat black. i kinda agree with ya but oh well looks 10x better then before. i'll take some more picks later in the week for ya.
