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.

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?

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

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.

^^^ 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?

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.
