Dude when that paint is dry you need to take the front face of your drum back to bare metal otherwise you run the risk of losing a wheel
Have you done any prep underneath before applying paint?

 

Because as the drum warms up due to use the paints softens
As the paint softens you lose the torque on the wheel nuts and the wheel starts to work its way loose
