normal paint like an airosol?depents what heat they get up to?id use 2pack if you can get hold of any?or mix the yellow with blue or orange!

Black would be covert... Silver made my calipers look massive with 3 spokes on.

Paint them black, they are only drums and nothing much to draw attention to!!! Use a wire brush on the rust, then clean the area up (free of grease and loose rust) then brush on some rust encapsulator.

do what i did n find someone that does sandblasting n get them done like that, it gets rid of all the rust. alot more that a wire brush does. ull need heatproof paint coz they'll get hot btw.
