Mine are rusted and dont like the rusted look especially with my black rims. New drums arent expensive and wasnt willing to spend hours and hours getting all the rust off my old ones, so I bought a new set for $75/pair today. I hit it with brake cleaner and 3 coats of VHT high heat paint. I covered up the entire centre area because i was told its best not to have paint on them as that is the surface that is in contact with your rims. So if its best to leave that part untouched what can i put on so it wont rust later?

You think i should put some clear coat on before putting them on? Is it even needed? And what can i put on the steel part to prevent rust since i cant paint them.

so got an approval from me too.
Not sure of the choosen color, but to each one his own

clear coat are not made for high temps, so they could flake?

You dont like black drums? I was actually going to paint them red but my friend said not to and they would stand out too much.

non, non, your other thread says hot pink
as for the contact point with the rims, just leave them as they are, they will not be visible from outside either. A clear coat or paint surface is not homogeneous, so it could affect the seating of the rims to the drums. just leave them as they are.

I was excited, i thought someone found hot pink caliper paint.. I've been looking for that for a year.

Aside from that, it took me less than 5 minutes to clean the rust off my drums.
