Now the alloys are on, I am noticing the drums a lot more on the back and I have to admit they are a tad rusty/out of colour!!!
What colour should I paint them? I am thinking of painting them black anyone else got any ideas?
I have seen a lot of people paint them red but I don't really fancy that!
I am also guessing that I need a heat resistant paint?
Cheers

Black. Dont show off you have drums. Keep it simple. Black calipers will show off nice behined silver alloys and silver brake discs...
