It'll look good. I've seen several cars/trucks with their front calipers/rear drums painted and so long as its done right, it generally looked great.

The biggest issue is of course the fact that most people dont clean the rust/dirt off very well...

I think it depends on your rims. I think if you put bigger rims on with painted drums...it looks pretty homo

You really need to let these dry for about 24 hours before doing any driving on them....and I would definitely put the truck up on several jackstands and let it dry for about 4-6 hours before even putting the wheels on.
