How to spray paint brake drums. Want to re-use your brake drums? This video will show you how to save some money and safely recondition your brake drums. It costs $50 a drum (and more for some cars) and only $20 to get them turned. Plus, the spray paint will make them look great, prevent rust, and make getting them off the next time very simple (no more stuck rusty brake drums). I used high temperature paint to get the perfect finish and last under heavy braking!

Back when I was a kid, in the 70s, I remember my Dad doing the brakes on my Mom's station wagon. He'd just pulled the rear drum off and he turns to me and said, "better get well back, son, you don't want to breath this stuff." He then blasted the thing with compressed air, creating a violent cloud around him. I guess the Tareyton cigarette's filter protected him, lol!

Thanks for sharing this idea with us Chris! I just finished doing it to the rear drums on my Camaro and they look so much better being black again! One recommendation to anyone who is considering doing this: Pick up a thin wire brush attachment for a drill. It makes getting in between the fins on the outside of the drum much easier.

You also have to be careful with the drum/shoe surface so I figured I would have more control with a grinding disk.

if you use a soft wire wheel on the grinder. like a loose flat disk. it will take it to bare metal, zero rust. on that turned surface, it'd do little to nothing. slipping with a grinding disk would cause a hell of allot more damage. also you sound like you have a cold, go rest and maybe make some honey tea.

after inspecting my rear drum brakes on my truck everything looked fine but i decided to paint the drums because they look like hell with all the rust and scale on them. new drums cost about $65 a peice so i decided to renew the ones i had on there. i didnt bother having them resurfaced because they were okay there. i just wired brushed the outside to get the big stuff and sand blasted the rest of the drum. Than sprayed them down with degreaser and finally spray them down with alcohol. I used Hi Temp paint and used a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. by the way i didnt paint any of the mating parts of the drum. worked great! It was a lot of effort though but didnt cost me anything.

A die grinder, electric or air, can be had for little outlay. Add a mandrel and abrasive cartridge rolls, and those fins on the drum would be sparking in about a minute or two. I do appreciate your effort to point out how much can be done with very little, but showing how a (relatively) cheap upgrade can save time (money) is also wise. Also, this drum could've been cleaned in a jiffy in a blast booth. It's tasks like these that justify an investment in useful tools.

My 2 cents. Instead of high temp paint. Which usually does very little about keeping the rust away! Use Hammerite, not only it works incredibly well on slightly rusted surfaces. But stand the test of time, particularly on rear drums (less heat). I've had a car with rear drum brakes painted with Hammerite for little more than 10 years!! Yep! They still look fairly decent! More dirt than rust, which is quite a surprise! Surface cleaned of heavier rust and dirt. Washed with acetone and (brush) painted with 3 layers... BTW took ages to dry, almost a week! But it's holding surprisingly well. ;-)

@chrisfix 9 жыл бұрын

Can ofLions Regular paint will most likely melt if you ever encounter a situation where you are using your brakes a lot. Since the rear brakes are not used as much you might be able to get away with it though. Your paint will probably not catch fire. Go for a ride and see if the brakes smell afterward. If you did want to use high heat spray paint, you would have to remove all of the old regular spray paint.
