    I painted mine black and removed the center caps. Protects them from road grime and what not and looks a bit better with my black rims. Full color drums are a bit over the top imho
    [​IMG]is the best photo I have right now.

    That's what has slowed me down. I can't decide on the color.

    I'm thinking this is PhotoShop work? Nice job!

    I've got a Silver truck and was thinking about red calipers and drums. After seeing it, I think I want something a bit more muted. Maybe black or silver.

    What do you think about your red drums?

    I was thinking you could probably get away with red on a red truck or blue on a blue truck. In fact, that might look sharp!

    I'm not sure blue to match the blue shocks on a red or even silver truck would do it for me. Just saying...

    When I did mine I used some vht caliper cleaner on them first (degreaser), then some vht primer, then black vht caliper paint. I went with black. I think you're supposed to heat them up to cure the paint. I just left them out in the sun on a hot day. Did it sometime last summer/fall and mine still look fine.
