   mine used to be silver done them with normal enamel paint was excellent didnt fade or nowt.
   done them red now looks better granted, but they get dirty a lot more than when they were silver. the finish is diffrent aswell more silky feel to em used hammerite this time.

    hope u did them both silver mine looked well nice when i brought the car, thinking about going to red on the front, but might just put a fresh coat of silver on the back as red on drums will look a little too much...imo

    I did both my calipers and drums yellow on my desire and it looked good, now theyre red they look much much better. If youve got drums presumably you havnt got much money to spend on a car so i think its a good cheap mod.
