Painting brake drums

[FV07]

Getting ready to paint my drums. Might as well look fast if you can't be fast.
Any advice on prep before I paint?? What to use to wipe down right before I paint?

Thanks for the help.

Most people say do not paint the rim mounting area of the drums. For the rest of the area...that you can paint... I wipe them down with brake cleaner first and then use Surface Prep, you can find it in most auto paint stores. It's used by body shops to prep metal for paint and helps the paint adhere.
