Hot Rods Little Help ? What color to paint the drums ?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by rob-redm, Jan 7, 2012.

  1. So my Chrome rims should be here on Monday. The 35 I decided to go for a early 60's vibe. Chrome rims , ribbon white walls. The drums are already black. I remember my neighbor when I just a little kid in the 60's running the same style wheel combo. No caps, but he had orange painted drums. Well you only saw the drum center through the rim. I was thinking white, would look killer. But the 35 was painted Ford Cobra Blue back in 60's. If I could find something close to that color that would be neat too.. The car runs a Chevy 265 V8, and muncie 4speed. The engine is Chevy orange, well what do you guys think ? I added chrome grease caps out front. Thanks !!

    Black. Brakes are not something you want attention drawn to.

    Black!!
     
  8. I vote black.

    In the 70's my cars got Cragars and drums painted to match the car. Then I'd drive by storefronts with lots of glass so I could see myself in motion.
