4 days? Just do each wheel in turn and leave overnight, why take all 4 wheels off at once? | |

To fit new disks / pads. Paint the calipers and drums took a day and a half. If you start at 9, clean them till about midday, Painted by half 1. Wheels on at 3. Driving car around with painted drums the next morning!! | |

so thus taking 4 days to complete, cos surely by the time you have got the rust cleared and then hammerite painted on the time will be ticking yes ? | |

You can put each wheel back on afterwards, but just leave the car overnight for the paint to fully dry. | |

whats the best way to do your drums if u have no trolley jacks to get the 4 wheels off ? I have heard you should try and get all 4 wheels off and do them all at the same time to save on the paint and time cheers Paul | |

You can put the wheel back on after about an hour cos the you don't paint the part of the drum that comes in contact with the wheel. | |

Yes, you can. The drums will probably be full of rust and other crud. Use a mains drill with a wire brush attachment and take them down to bare metal. Then paint with something like hammerite in your desired colour! Oh and give them overnight to be safe before driving. | |
