Wrong section bud, but yeah normal hammerite is fine.
Give the drums a good wire brushing and clean up with brake cleaner then paint them up

I always use regular brush on smooth finish hammerite and never had a problem.
The trick is to put on fine coats(the first coat should be nearly see through depending on the colour used) with about 15mins between each coat. Then leave overnight to harden.
Then bolt your wheels on and your laughing
