Saw this on my way in to work yesterday morning. Snapped a pic with my blackberry, then the girl driver gave me a big grin. I guess she thought I liked her car.

 

You haven't seen painted drums before?

 

i painted my drums before on my altima...

 

This is Mississippi. Lots of donks, not much rice.

 

I like when people have mismatch wheels. I can only assume that they can't afford to replace tires so they go back to their stock wheels.

ive done this on my altima too.

 

Meh, I've seen worse.

 

Don't see it as much now as 5-6 years ago. It seemed every Civic driver in my area decided painting the drums was the hot ticket at the same time. Laughed my *** off at them then. Now it just makes me sad.

 

I paint my drums and rotors, flat black.

 

How long does that last?

 

im sure it last a long time, on the parts other than the friction surface itself. real ballers do this.

 

I just put RTV on my brake surfaces to catch the brake dust. Doesn't last that long though. Smells great.

wtf?

 

Hey ******, I'm riding on stock rears on shitty Sumitomos because I haven't had time to plug my regulars. I'm actually considering going back to stock wheels with taller sidewall tires to battle the absolutely horrible roads around my area. Only 2 of the tires on the stock wheels have tread though, and I don't feel like spending $100 on tires when my other ones only need plugging.

I painted my rear drums on my Accord once just to cut back on rust. I also thought it would look cool back in my ricer days to paint my Prelude's rotor edges and hub red to match the calipers and car... ******* ugly! Never again will I treat anything in the suspension and brake department with paint other than calipers.

 

At least he was careful not to get any on the cap.....

 

Makes sense to me...when I watch Le Mans, their brake rotors turn red. I think I'll paint my rotors red too.
