Alright.. for now Im stuck with getting rid of the hideous look of the drum brakes in the back with my new rims. Dont have the money to do the brake conversion yet so Im going to paint the drums to touch it up. What kind of paint will I need and what do you think would look better, black or silver paint? I've got silver rims in case you're wondering ;)
 
Any "high-temp" spray paint will work...ie. engine paint. be sure to clean them real good first and primer them before putting on 2-4 good coats of paint. IMO, black or gray would look best...stuff painted silver looks cheap to me.
 
VHT Hood and Deck black. Nice semi-flat, easier to wash than flat. The heat won't be enough to hurt a black paint, it _might_ make a light color change some, but hopefully we've talked you out of a light color. If you can get them sand- or beadblasted first, it's the best way to go.
