what colour r u going to paint the rears?
The rear wheels dont have breakes. All Im doing is painting the brakes which are on the front wheels only.
Unless I miss understand what you meant.

Ah so your sayin paint the discs silver (front n back I guess) and the brake calibers on the front red.
Only noticed it since I got alloys that the discs look like a round rust plate. Cause my dads car has cool silver ones.
Any prices? Or places you think I should get a good deal from? For the red paint? Or silver, I'l see what I can do for that one.
Cause surly one tin will do the red, and hopefully 1 tin wil do the discs, but maybe two.

Eh? Are you talking about painting discs? Surely you mean calipers.
Drums and calipers can be painted, just leave the cars on axle stands for a while until the paint dries. Paint won't cost too much, and you need to get rid of the rust before you paint using some sanding paper and brake cleaner.

please dont paint your drums (unless its black)!
Its like saying 'look at me, my braking capabilities are inferior to yours'! - why advertise something you haven't got!

if its a black car then silver would definatly work (but only for the fronts!
