Hey I just put some 17s on my Cavi. And I noticed my rear breaks(drums ) are lookin a little rusty..... So should I paint them blue? I wanted to paint my calipers too so what should I do paint the front not the back or none at all? I don't want it to look "ricey".
Any input would be great

IMHO, drum brakes should only be painted black
I'd paint black all around -- which cleans them up and makes them less obvious at the same time. A color like blue would start to look ricey, if anything.

agreed. it looks stupid to draw attention to drums and stock calipers. it also looks tacky
if anything silver. but on drums........... NO! any black and that is all.

I shot mine with a high temp cast iron color paint... not to standout-ish at all.
Thanks guys I just took the caliper paint back to auto zone

Use a HIGH TEMP paint or the paint made for BRAKE DRUMS and CALIPERS, I painted mine a year ago and still looks ok.

Yep that is what I used, I have had good coverage still

i used flat black high temp engine(1200*) paint and they look great
gloss black all the way.
maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow....... but some day
ive got duplicolor red caliper paint on the calipers and i painted the drums black.
i painted mine a dark green and looks good. cant really tell its green until you come up close on it, otherwise it looks black. id say paint it blue and be different. i like colors.
