I just put in Motegi 17' MR7 Rims. They look great and makes the car look nice. but they expose the disc brakes and the rear drums. The rear drums are rusted from bad maintenace of the previous owner. Any ways i wanted to knoe if its safe to paint the rear drum and what is a good paint to use.

KiLis-Can't wait to see the turn out on your drums. How long did it take you? 2hrs tops?
I'm planning on doing mine this spring/summer when the weather prevails. Prolly go look for something metallic color. I just want to keep it simple...not too much color for me. Is sanding them down hard? Or does it just depend on how rusted they are? Does anyone else have pics they can post so we can see how your drums turned out? |
