Painting rear drums

Well, car is off at the bodyshop now, and I'm missing it, but while I've got no petrol to waste, sorry spend, money on I may as well think of other things to do.

These are pretty much identical to my wheels

So the rear drum is pretty clear to see, front disks are drilled and groved and look pretty nifty, front calipers are red. Great. But should I paint my rear drums black (to get rid of the faded, chipped look), or red?

You decide

Black.

You dont want to draw attention to the fact you have drums imo.

Definitely go black. It looks tidy without drawing attention to the poxy things
