I am going to paint my rear brake drums and the calipers at the front and don't know what colour would be best.
What do you people have on yours and what do you think would be best for my car(silver).

Ive gone for black, Red is too common, Silver would be OK, but it makes the drums stand out, Mike has the best Idea, Black drums and silver or black calipers. It also depends how ashamed of your standard brakes you are

black for drums, you dont really wanna advertise the fact that youve only got drums on the back., maybe gold for calipers

Little tip:
Dont bother with fancy caliper paint. Standard or spray on hammerite will do the trick, plus loadsa colours to choose from
