    I'm thinking brake drums FTL.

    But it looks decent to me.

    the drums will not be there forever.... the paint is just a temporary fix to the rust and the "oldness" to everything up under there. i have had the car since 2004 and trying to keep it looking fresh

    i used about 4 coats of High Temp engine paint. Its my daily driver so i expect it all to chip and fade.... i'll prob just respray everything once a month or before shows. everything was dry in less than an hour w/ a high speed shop fan blowing on it.

    yup sure was... after i got done i backed it out in the sun and let it sit for an hour. pulled it back in and applied another coat then stuck the shop fans on there. everything looks real clean... can't see any flaws unless you get up underneath it and actually look real hard. I'll admit i did it fast and out of boredom to clean it up. I drive 60mi a day and construction on every street im on... i dont expect them to stay clean.

    It's a bit of overkill if you ask me. I'm a fan of red suspension too, but not red painted oem stuff. But good job on the painting.
