Guest Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 You're not wrong especially when they start going a bit rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do you need much technical knowledge to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Not really as long as you cover the disks etc with newspaper, I used white spirt to get any of the paint off of my discs that I couldn't help. Also as long as you don't go to mad with the paint in one place while building up the layers you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenWhiteZetecS Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Rear drums look awesome in red too :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Looks great, always thought the drums looks best in black but I'm not sure now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Entity Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Depends on the alloys if you're gonna paint the drums... if you can barely see the drums go for it. I bought a car once were the previous owner had painted them and they looked horrible as the alloys on it were like 17" 5 spoke so massively on show. I'd do them black personally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah I know what you mean I done mine black when I done the calipers and they look good black because they are quite sutol and don't stand out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I did mine a matt black but then once I put the lacquer on it gave them a really nice shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 A keep puting off me painting them because no time haha or the weather up here is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I managed to do them when the weather was good and managed to have a day off work. Took me about 6 months to get round to it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
