I don't know how applicable this is but....

After a lifetime career in the structural steel business, that red looks like red oxide primer. The factory wouldn't have bothered priming brake drums, but perhaps a previous owner did long ago? Maybe when the drums were replaced?

An unimpeachable source - who no longer posts, but watches over us - informs me that A-bodies with Rallyes did get the red painted drums like B-bodies did. Or at least they were supposed to. If applicable, my all original '71 GTX had the rear drums painted under the rally wheels. They used regular red body paint slathered on with a brush rather liberally. Enough so that on one it had dripped onto the wheel itself. Typical Mopar quality as the car sped down the line.
Master, again and still

Maybe when the drums were replaced? Me too. I don't see any bright red enamel, just what looks like red oxide primer. Besides, it appears to be painted in the "wheel contact area", contrary to note 6 in the drawing.

My 73 Charger had red paint under the black paint on the rear drums also. i Mine has black over the red too, maybe they blacked them out at the factory depending on the wheels installed? Anyway, here is the finished drum. The paint on the drums were a bright red with an orange tint.

I would say YES the brake drum was painted if it had rallye wheels from factory. My 1974 Duster360 with rallyes, had the OE rear drums on it when I got car, they were painted red. Gotta say, love it when you look thru the "slots" of the wheel . . . here is my Sport Satellite, that came with road wheels (magnum 500 style) . . . love it when light hit it ! Cheers M Red showing ONLY thru the rear rallyes kinda looks goofy. Why didn't they balance it out by red on fronts?
