Default Painting brake drums and calipers

Going to be doing my brakes all the way around. Will be buying new drums and calipers. If I use the proper paint shouldn't have any problems. Has anyone done this and had any issues?

new drums and calipers usually come painted black from the factory so as long as you use a paint that can handle the heat from the brakes you should be fine

you could probably find red enamel spray paint at lowes that would work great for you

Parts stores like AutoZone and Advance usually have brake cailper paint kits. They usually come with brushes and etc that you would need to use if you leave the calipers on. I have seen them in at least 3 colors, red - yellow - black.
