Hi, i got some caliper paint for my 96 colt in red, the car colour matches the paint.

I have 17" alloys on the car and was considering painting the back drum brake because it looks rusty and pretty crappy.

Do you think this would look nice, or would you laugh if you saw a car like that, because it looks like im trying to excentuate the fact i have drums at the back, although obviously im not, im just trying to hide the rust! lol

Any comments?

paint them black. antirust enamel or something.

If you paint it the same color as your car/calipers I'd laugh at you. sorry, you asked.

If you painted them black, I'd understand that your not trying to be a ricer.

unless you have those light up vavle stem caps. then do whatever you want because it's too late for you... :P
