I think he meant don't paint them some bright flamboyant colors or something.. If they are peeling or rusty, just take off all the crap with a wire brush drill attachment, and paint them with VHT Epoxy, black paint (or something similar). I'm not sure you want to be proud of the fact that you have drums by letting the world know with a color that stands out.

Welcome to 6GA! Nice clean slate to work upwards from .

Thanks for the tips man! I was already planing on painting the drums black or Red but I didn't know what type of paint to use.. Now that I think about I just going to paint it black because I really dont like drum brakes. I was asking him because I didn't know if there was anther reason besides looks that he was recommending me to not to paint them.
