Clean all the crap off with some paint thinners.

Use some red oxide primer (Hammerite make it)

Use some black Hammerite on it.

You should mask off the bit which the wheels sits on as that needs to be bare metal.

Use brush on Hammerite because you need it to get a good thick coating. You can flat back the primer though to get it smooth...

Needs to be done, you don't want tatty rusty drums with your new paint and wheels. Best do the front calipers and hub carriers while you are at it too!

What ever you do, don't take up powdercoating. It's a nasty addictive drug
