Default Drum brakes question

I intend to swith to rear disc brakes from a 99-00 si in the near future but now is not the time. I'm trying to rmove the drums off of the rear brakes so that i can paint them to match the caliphers up front which have already been painted to match the car and I also want to check out the brakes inside the drum to make sure theyre ok. How do I remove this... I dont see anything holding it on but it wont just pop off like some other cars Ive seen. Is there a clip or bolt somewhere?

painting calipers are maybe acceptable
please do not paint your drums
drums are embarassing and are not something you want to show off

They were already painted red before I got it as were the caliphers. I painted the caliphers VSM to match the car and I would like the drums to match the caliphers insted of being red atleast. This is only temporary. And nevermind I figured out how to get the drum off.

Make sure you don't have the e-brake handle up and bang the drums with a hammer until you're able to slide them off.
