if u wanna make it perfect then sand the drums down loads and get a nice smotth finish on them!!
then apply a few coats of hammerite all over it!!

Simple!
also make sure u have the gloss black and not the matt black!!

where do you get hammerite from and how much? i take it that you have to clean the drums and calipers with a metal brush to get the rust off first

Hammerite is around a fiver on the markets. Wire brushes are around £1. If you don't have time to go the market then B&Q, Taskers etc will have it.
