no no no leave the rear drums alone... you want to hide those ugly pieces of crap, not make them stand out!

Since I have my car, I painted drums and calipers twice. I painted them black. It really makes a big difference when you have wheels, it makes the wheels look better, hiding the gray collored calipers in front, and the rusty drums.

I painted the drums right after I bought the car because here in Canada rust comes fast on these...right after the first winter.

I agree, colored drums (red, yellow) are ugly! For Canadians I say go for black....because rusty drums wont make the car look better with wheels after winter.

I say no paint or black on the drums too.

The TRD logo on mine are caliper decals - a special high temp decal. So far they've held up well. I got them from guy in Hong Kong who was selling them on eBay. I think Brembo or someone went after him for copyright infringement and he got his account yanked. I'm sure you can find some if you look around.

Whatever you do, don't get those caliper covers - they'll hold the heat in.

The pleasure of personally delivering a swift kick to the backside of redyaris for painting his rear drums red: priceless

http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/g2/caliper_paint.jsp

Red
Yellow
Blue
Silver
Gold
Black
Purple
Green
White

So who will be the first here with purple calipers? Bad news: this kit is $38 + shipping.
kit can be found at Autozone for under $20

I painted my calipers and drums with engine paint though, only $4.99 a can.... I painted mine when I fist got my car last July and they still look hot
