Finally Got Around To Doing My Custom Brake Caliper/Drums Job
 
heres the new look on the drums and calipers

heres what i did:

repainted the calipers red
put HONDA in black ontop the red paint
painted the disk near the rim black (not on the actual disk)
painted the ends/tips of the part where the lugs screw on red
painted the rear drums middle in red and the outa small parts in black

How It Sits Now:

I agree with Cynikal.Mindset, should have just painted the drum all black, but to each his own

i like the paint front and rear. ive always been a true believer that painted brakes work much better while improving WHP by 7% hahaha

2 tone drums?

i would go for all black then!

porkchop4life 15-May-2007 02:15 AM

y i went 2 tone,
 
i went 2 tone because my car is EVERYTHING black lol rims and everytihng...was 2 much black...so i wanted 2 bring it out a bit an tried out the 2 tone for the back since i had red calipers in the front....i will get a full side shot of the car tomorrow so everyone can see what it looks like...i think it looks alright, just temporary till iget rear disk brake conversion and do the same to the back as i did with the front calipers...

i like the calipers but drums should be all non accented, all black or all gunmetal i think is best which i swhat i have now, i first time around had mine bronze to match my calipers, but didnt mind them the other color. i think eventually u will grow to hate the red on it and redo it

porkchop4life 15-May-2007 02:44 AM

lol
 
probably lol ima c what happens lol....this is temporary till i do the disk brake conversion

imported_TuttiGirl 15-May-2007 12:53 PM

^^ I painted my drums red too, wanted it to match, they are so ugly I might as well make them look good! haha have fun with it, I laugh. Looks good though. I should post pics of my new brake set up too- thanks for the reminder! :)
