when im gonna be changing my winter set back to summer rims
im planning to paint my calipers and rear drums
now my car is liqued gray, so not every color out there is gonna go with it to match
another thing...what are good brake paints out there? i went to CT the other day and found one brand the one on the pic of the cans
black and silver were my primary picks from colors....not so sure about the one on the far right
just let me know what color you think i should paint them
and should i get brake cleaner before i start to paint?

I ususally do the following each year when I put the summer rubber. I didn't last year because I just don;t care about the car anymore.
Take a good wire brush and scrape all the rust off, best you can.
Blow off all the rust dust and chunks off with an air hose.
Prime and paint the drums black with either caliper paint or BBQ paint (it's the same s*** and is way cheaper)
Let sry and repeat coats of black.

Just use the high heat enamel paint for BBQ's or fireplaces and you won't need a primer.

Aside from black, has anyone tried a colour like silver? Black would just look bad on my Focus with the red paintjob...

I used that duplicolour wheel laquer, it worked ok, the rust still comes through if the calipers already rusted.. That POR-15 looks like some good stuff tho I may try that when I repaint mine.
I painted my drums black and the calipers sliver
