I finally got around to painting my brake calipers red, and they look really sweet. Unfortunately, my car does not have rear disk brakes, but has drum brakes. My dad thinks I should try painting them. But I haven't really seen anyone paint drums before and I have a feeling it will look stupid. So what do all of you think?

No it's high temperature caliper paint. It's rated for 900F and is really smooth so it is hard for brake dust and dirt to stick to it.

Few of my friends have.. looks way better than the normal "rust" paint job Lol.. and yes it looks good. If you wanted to get creative you could blackout the drum and paint a caliper on it :P .. but anyway.. itll look better than the way it is by far.
