I am looking to paint my new Lincoln brake drums and I am wondering what paint I should use. I’m looking for gloss or semi gloss black and hopefully something that can build up some thickness to minimize chipping. The high temperature paints that I am familiar with leave such a thin layer of paint that it really doesn’t give much lasting protection.
I’ve used Rustoleum. POR 15 and My last ones I painted with the same black single stage I painted the suspension with. U-TECH U350. Very economical, and tuff as nails.
Rustoleum here too. I mix a little bit of Flood Penetrol in and it will come out slick with a high gloss. Takes longer to cure but works great and easy to touch up with chips and scratches.
I’m concerned about the high temperature damaging the paint. Not a real concern? I have no idea how hot brake drums can get (I learned that they can get hot enough to burn your hand).
