Red, black or grey. Depends on car colour.

don't do your drums red, would highlight the fact you got em, i say red front and black rear

 

[bobmcgod]

I'd go with black. I hate seeing cars with bright red drums.. it's not something you want to show off.

 

[warren_cox]

Absolutely true, don't highlight your drums. Just wire brush them down and black them out. Front calipers go with what you want

As said already. Dont do the drums, its as bad as using the fake disc's you can buy.
Depends on how loud you want it. Red for loud or I'm going to do mine a grey colour and I will either use Japlac (bought in B&Q or similar) or Hamerite for a more low key effect.

polished ftw

Don't bother with the ebay stuff Hammerite is what 90% of people use work a treat


ooooh fr-tdi i like your silver with them rims works so well!

Red is the classic colour. green or blue if you want something different. black if you want the reserved look. Don't bother with the drums, people loaugh when they see them painted (sorry).

Yellow

 

[bobmcgod]

Those yellow ones look really nice actually but can't see them working well on lighter coloured cars. But I still say drums should be as impossible so see as the can be. I almost wet my self when i saw an old bosses 57 £20k freelander had drums on the back.

IMO painting them any bright colour will highlight the fact that the brakes are the size of a CD, only proper bad ass size brakes should be painted bright colours

Just paint them black to stop them going rusty and tatty, at a push do them silver but do black only on the drums or people will point and giggle
