I was thinking soapy water for the brake drums only soapy water if it touched the lining of the brake drum its ruined so I guess not I used soapy water on alot of the parts & a tooth brush it helped remove so much rust in area I couldn't reach with sandpaper it's just soap and water works so good. only nothing can touch the liner of the brake liner

Turning them at Oreillys cost 15 a piece, 3. 50 for brake clean, 8 for paint and a brush is around 3 thats 29. 50 at that point your getting close (depending on what car you have) to the value of a new one. Save yourself 1 hour of work. Not to discourage any ricers from doing this but something I wanted to point out.

Um. why bother masking. Do rust removal first. They make a product you can soak it in. Then clean and paint. Then turning. Take a measurement with cailipers before starting to make sure it has enough surface to turn. Then do it up. have it turned. They will turn off any over-spray when they surface it.

Chris, if you dip the drum for 30 seconds in Muriatic acid which you can get at the local hardware store, all the rust will be gone right to bare metal. Just gotta be careful use gloves and mind the acid, once you rinse it with water it deletes to safe levels. Just can't beat the speed of it.

I have a drum brake painted without being careful to select a proper heat resistant paint. That was a mistake. So I grind the paint off and redo it with the correct paint. I'm glad I did because now I don't have to worry about it.

Hey Chris, what do you think about letting the brake drum sit in white vinegar for an hour or so? I find that on rusty coins i am restoring it makes it look brand new and removes rust. Would it be safe to use on brake drums?

If they are not expensive, new drums would be good to buy. I got new drums and used silver caliper paint to give it a protective cover. And I needed new wheel bearings so I just fitted then into the new drums.

I got a 1980 Camaro and my drums were rusted on bad. Took me a while to get them off. Could I use rustoleum paint? For rust preventive? Plan on using primer as wel

I would recommend using Zip disks and wire wheels instead of a grinding stone. Youll get a better finish and more rust out of the notches on the outside

Also for those of y'all planning on actually doing this project, don't use a grinding wheel or a cutting. Use a wire wheel, WAYYYY LESS aggressive.
