i was thinking with going red, silver or black

as well from the drums i dont like how they like when they are painted so i was thinking of painting flat black so they kinda hide. i m gonna use tremclad flat black rust paint.

What do u guys think

Unless you have red accents anywhere else on the car, paint the drums and calipers black. Also black looks better with drums.

IMO I think red calipers go good with black rims... see

But I dunno about on a SSM color car. But the drums in the back, defiantly flat black!

Flat black. It will draw less attention to the tiny rotor and the rear drum.

either flat black or red even. I have black rims on my black vic and I went with red (for color accent). And yeah, don't buy those 30 $ caliper paint kit. I just used a high temp. ceramic spray paint. 1 can will be enough for a few coats on each caliper.

Just any black.

Big red/blue/white/silver etc etc drum is an act of ricer.

Whatever will draw negative look or attention tends to make you a ricer, they are the low self esteem, attention needy dummers.
