PICS of my painted rear drums
 
If you look close enough you can tell that I painted each drum differently. The drum that seems to be darker, duller than the other really is. To start off I did sand both of the drums down with a drill and a wire brush bit. Then, I used black 1500F temp paint on one of them, then I painted over it w/ Silver Metallic Rustoleum paint. The other one I used 2 coats of Silver Metalic rustoleum paint. Supposedly the one that I didn't use temp paint on will chip soon. I did it this way to find out if its true.

I painted my rear drums and I didn't like the way it looked so
I removed the paint and just kept the front callipers painted.

Pics of the drums on the car would be good. Any chance of that when you get them back on?

I'm letting them dry overnite so the paint doens't stick to my rims, I'll get ya another pic 2maro, prolly put it in the "member rides" section

Ya you don't want to start heating 'em up until the paint is fully cured. I"ll check member's rides for your pics tomorrow.

looks good....just for fyi, for those that are going to be autocrossin there car, its not good to paint your calipers or drums....paint will actually keep the heat in...so ur pads or drums wont disperse heat properly....
