Default How to: Painting Rear Drums

So i got tired of my rusty drums so i decided to paint them the color of my dak, baby blue and this is how i did it.

Materials:
  1. Jack
  2. Jack Stands (preferably two)
  3. High Temp Paint
  4. Rustoleum Hammered (only needed if super old and rusty)
  5. Wire Brush
  6. Dish Detergent


Instructions
  1. Jack the dak up and place it on jack stands
  2. take the wheels off followed by the drums(if they are hard to get off, use a hammer and tap the backside till they come off)
  3. Brush the drum with the wire brush then wash it with the detergent
  4. wait till it dries to apply paint, use the rustoleum hammered first if it is super rusty
  5. Skip the above step if it is not rusty and then apply the high temp paint.
  6. Wait till that dries and then put the wheels back on and take it off the jack stands.


Well thats how i did it.

Nice looking.
Much more partial to cast grey, or any grey to look like natural cast. I like when things look natural like they did when new, but last longer.
