The first thing to do is safely lift the vehicle. Since you will need to remove the tires, it's best to use a couple as spacers.

Carefully clean the rear brake drum. It must be perfectly clean to be painted.

Mask off the bolts carefully; otherwise, the added thickness will prevent them from fitting back into their holes. Mask the body and fender with cardboard or thick paper, then apply a primer and let it dry well.

Next, apply the red paint, either glossy or matte, according to your preference. YouTubers have chosen a glossy finish because they applied a gloss afterward.

Now you can reattach the tire and wheel, which will showcase the bright red drum.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
