Need opinions!

Post by Merzbow »

So since I can't drive for 6 months I have alllll kinds of time to start finishing my Vibe and getting it ready for Auto Rama in February.I'm going to re-paint the calipers this week. Re-painting the fronts red. I need opinions on what to do with the back drums. I would never ever paint my drums EVER but they are kind of sort of starting to change colors. I want to do a rear disk conversion eventually but in the mean time I was thinking about painting the drums black. What do you all think?

Paint them black. I painted my calipers and drums black, it's better than rust.

Excellent song Zion I want to do a dis conversion but I had a hard enough time trying to find a rear bumper cover (still haven't yet) let alone a whole Vibe GT to take the drums off of in the back I'm gonna paint the back drums black and paint the front calipers red and when I find rear disks I'll paint those calipers red as well Thanks for the opinions
