I just got new rear brakes, drums and shoes, on the Vibe (Raybestos parts). The drums have rusted like crazy in only a couple weeks. I was thinking about taking off the drum covers and painting them.
My questions: Is this a good idea? What procedure and products should I use (just a simple automotive primer and paint spray paint)? Would I want to clean the drum covers since they are already roughed up due to being rusted?
The front calipers have the same issue. Is it possible to paint the calipers without removing the brake line and without getting paint all over the surrounding areas? If so what procedure would you use?
Car is white, not sure what color I'd want to paint them. Maybe silver.
Thanks.
