any of you lx owners out there paint the rear drums? i think they look like crap when the rims let u see them completely and was thinkin about paintin them silver to match my car and my rims. anyone who has done this could ya tell me what paint you used, how hard it was, if it turned out good?

 

Well you can get away with using just about any type of paint. Clean up the drums as much as possible and shoot a few (thin) coats of paint on there. Duplicolor makes a caliper paint setup that would probably work well but I'd opt to just buy some cheaper paint and use that.

Black would look best IMO

 

The drums look factory powdercoated black from honda u think it would look different if i painted them with black drum paint?

 

convert to disc! lol

 

ya thats a lil more than the 10 bucks for paint tho lol

 

I was under the impression that they were a silver finish like the calipers, my bad .... Whatever you do dont paint them red.

 

ya definately not red, do i have to actually remove the entire drum assembly to sand them down and all that in order to paint them or can i just whipe them down without taking them out, tape off the area around it and just spray?

 

Personally I'd just take the drums off and paint them. Easier than sitting there and trying to tape **** off

 

id leave em black

 

I have an LX, the drums look like crap no matter what color, Plus the rear drums are so small that if you leave em black you can barely see them anyway. Painting them would just make them more noticeable. If I had to go with a color I guess id go with silver to match the calipers or something...

 

I did mine in hammerrite black.
