Hey everybody, tell me if you think this is a good combo, red calipers and silver drums. Also, what is a good painting method when painting the calipers and the drums?

if u want to do it cheap use plasti coat's small tins(non spray paint) , in the uk they are £2.50 i painted all my gt's calipers bronze (looks more gold) , once u have put on a few coats use the same sized clear coat tin with about 2 to 3 coats and u have got urself nice looking brakes for £5 to £7 which i guess is about $7 to $10, i did mine about 6 moths ago and they look the same as the day i did the paint job no cracking or flaking or rusting..well the fronts are ok(which count the most) but the backs need done again (rusted)cause they didnt get the clear coat lol but it was the first time i have done this so the back brakes get let off lol
