Silver beaney
blue always looks nice.
But black gets my vote nowadays
Matt Black.
Coloured calipers look hyper gay IMO, and coloured drums look uber gay, it just highlights the lake of braking at the rear of the car!
I painted mine silver before i was going to fit them, i made a bit of a b*lls up with the paint tho :oops: , so i might do them gloss black before i fit them now.
I would say either silver or black, silver looks good as it just makes them look new and not stand out too much like red/yellow does.
Fronts red to match car, rears black. Drums painted in bright colours look silly, as said just highlights the fact you don't have rear discs.

black for drums, then either black, silver or red for calipers

Dont entirely agree, if youd driven a stripped nova with discs on the rear, youd know what i mean.
I agree they look gay, (mine are going black for this season) but theres definately not a lack of braking!
i think you can buy new rear drums for around $12 i think and there a machined finish and look alright as drums go. better than painted

true, but they rust in 10 seconds flat. If i can find some heat resistant laquer i might give them a coat or two before i fit mine to see if it stops the surface rust?
jim laquered his, i just white hammerited mine lmao

Fit some 2.0L 16v brakes first, your still running the standard nova items which are useless.
Paint the fronts red and the drums black.
