Nearly the entire rear drums were painted red on my '70 Charger. Red up to the back ridge on the drum.
I duplicated it, & found Chrysler Engine Red paint to be a good match.
Yes, the drums on this car had this much red on them. The original road wheels have heavy drips of red paint on the backsides as well.

Any chance you have pictures of the drums BEFORE restoration, any thing is possible but pictures help. Nothing to say your drunk assemblyline worker wasn't detail oriented.

Maybe it wasn't a "drunk" on the line, but perhaps the "new guy" and either he was out to impress the line supervisor, or was a through lad to detail?


I've serviced Mopars since the 70's, often times taking the wheels off the vehicle for the first time for new tires/brakes/etc when I worked in the shop, most wheels were stuck to the drum with paint( which means the line wasn't paying attention to avoiding the studs/wheel mating surfaces), the paint applications ranged from just a few swipes with almost no coverage to drums that looked like they were dunked in paint...
