Brake drumming

I noticed some surface rust on the rear brake drums on the 280z.  While they are off the car for other work, I thought I would spruce them up a bit.  I started by using a wire wheel on the outer surface to remove the surface rust.


 

I then cleaned the surface with acetone and prepared for painting.  I chose Rustoleum caliper paint for this job.


After two light coats, it was time to wait the prescribed 7 day cure time before returning to the car, which will be no problem, as it will take longer than that to return the differential and other components to the car.
