I have a 92 camaro with the green and gold heritage package. for those of you that dont know, they came with gold accented rims and badges and goldstripes. Ok, heres the question, I'm about to do a complete brake overhaul and was wondering what color to paint the calipers and drums? green, gold or aluminum
heres a pic of what my car looks like, this is DABE's car I havent gotten the pics of mine in here yet

 

pink?

 

for my car, not a rustang

 

I vote for black. Nothin special about stock calipers or drums... Hide them things.

 

i thought about that, but I show it alot and was hoping that some color might add to the look

 

You want to advertise rear drums?

 

I vote black also, but if you really want to show them off, aluminum is my second choice.

 

Well i can speak from experience............I liked the idea of having painted drums and calipers for about 3 months......

I say go with red paint on the front to give the illusion they are expensive...... .............then paint the drums in the back ...black....

Green would look out of place cause then people would obviously know that you just painted them, same for gold...........

BUT IMO, they just take away from the appearance of the rims when you paint the brake drums........just do the calipers and you will be happy in the long run....

 

Red would look dumb on a green car.

 

yeah i agree with black. im putting on my new wheels this week and im going to paint both front and back like a flat black. i want it to not stand out at all

thanks fellas, I guess its going to be black. I appreciate the feedback

 

I also say black. Drum brakes are ugly, hide em the best you can.

 

Black is the only colour you should paint them. Any other colour wouldn't look proper. IMO

 

Black, that is the only way to go on the drums.
they are nasty, and you don't need to advertise them.
that is one thing that pisses me off, most new cars above $20K have 4 wheel disc. a sports car shouldn't have drums. I want to get rid of mine, just have to many things on the list before that.
later

I wish I had the money to do the 1LE conversion, but thats a bit out of the budget for now.

 

Paint them flat metallic gloss pearl blackish white.

I painted mine chevy orange, but I have front and rear disc....

 

GOLD.

 

black..
