Idea on Painting Rear Drums

Well after going through a recent issue of HCI (Hot Compact & Imports) they show a civic with rear drums painted to match the cars wheels. They had the drums painted a custom silver so they look like they could be part of the wheel. It looked really nice cause it made the drum not stick out so much, rather as a piece of the wheel. I just though this might be a nice possibility if someone is deciding on wheather or not to paint their drums.

I painted mine red to match my tailights, ground effects at night and the red honda symbol. I think silver would look good also, but anyone can tell its a brake drum.

you can paint your drums/ calipers any color, I just thought that the silver from the wheels makes the drums look a little bit nicer than having them stick out so much
