If you paint the drums paint them black. It looks odd if they are red, or what ever color you choose. Painting the calipers is easy and I think the kit is only $20 or less.

Venom used BBQ paint and it does a great job https://www.gmforum.com/t280778/, lots cheaper than the caliper paining kits as well.

I painted mine black. I just like the tid bit of glossy look to it over stock dirty gray.

Sounds good.

Is that the same way you painted your calipers red?
