hi all could any one tell me what sort of paint to use on my rear drum brakes to tidy them up as they look a bit rusty and untidy thanks.

I've just done mine. I bought black high-temperature engine lacquer from Halfrauds. It's supposed to withstand temperatures up to 300C. I applied two coats by brush and it looks very good.

What color did you do them? Have you got any pics?

I used Hammerite smooth black on mine to get a nice gloss black finish, haven't had any issues with it so far

Europarts sell brake calliper spray,cheaper than halfrauds aswell.

thanks Tom for the pics, Is is a gloss or matt finish? also did you use any primer or just give them a good rub down and put the hammerite on?

I wouldve said leave them alone dont draw attention to them but tomo91's look tidy fp

It's a gloss finish, just get a stiff wire brush and give them a good clean with that to get all the break dust off, then I had some calliper cleaner left from when I done my front callipers and used that then, just painted straight and gave them a couple of coats! Easy peasy!

Yeah that's what I thought as there only drums but they gain more attention if their brown and rusty in my opinion haha!

i think painting them black doesn't draw attention, its when they're red,yellow, gold when they draw attention lol

Was going to do mine today, but the weather has other ideas lol

I Agree. I was going to do silver St one point but now I'm think black as it looks tidy and doesnt draw attention. I wonder what a matt black wud look like?

when i do mine matt black i'll take a few snaps and post them up so you can see :)

Here's a pic of mine...

I've done mine in yellow and don't think they look too bad. Got gloss black wheels and yellow callipers/drums. I'll get a pic later.
