Yeah, kinda iffy on painting the drums
Good sanding, cleaning, and high temp stove paint is perfect.

I have not but plan to once the weather gets a little warmer. Rustoleum makes a flat black high temp paint I’m going to use.

Im in the same boat with you. For the drums I may go with a gloss black so they blend in with my wheels. I want to do my fronts for sure
Yeah I think the fronts turned out amazing. I used POR15 caliper paint from Amazon, it was less than ten bucks for the can.

I wouldn’t go gloss on drums personally. It looks terrible on most vehicles I’ve seen painted that way.

Yeah that's my train of thought too. I mean drums are consumable maintenance items, I don't think I'm going to paint something that's gonna end up getting tossed in a dumpster down the road

True, but drums last a lot longer than shoes. Some flat or satin black would look better than rust.

Thanks! The drummies need something that's for sure. Gloss or flat I don't know but something
Old school days, they used to cross drill them. Effectiveness was marginal. Not worth the time involved for me.

<raises hand> I did that. No difference for hours of work. And it lets the water in easier.....not good. DOH! Amazing what I did when I was 19 and had too much free time!

Now it'll stay clean between use. Bath & a cover.

I’d get a cover, but it’s my daily

Mine is more like every 3-5 days.
I’ve ordered a 30” Hush Thrush muffler to tone down the exhaust. Especially since the DC Sports muffler has most of its packing blown out thanks to two steps and a neat trick with the clutch and gas while the N2MB box is on
