I wasn't going to repaint the drums, but they look soooo much better painted I think . . . . Did the factory always paint the drums on road wheel optioned cars ??

If the car had steel wheels with hubcaps, the drums were left natural. Justin "CornDog" 1966 Dodge Charger 1968 Plymouth Satellite (Un-Restored "Survivor") 1969 Dodge Charger (W.B.

Challenger T/A with trim rings and dog dishes. At least one had black painted drums from the factory. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...amp;Search=true

Anonymous Unregistered A	so what about cars that came with factory disc brakes up front? did the rotors get painted red also or just the face of the rear drums? Seems silly to only have red showing through the rears and not the fronts.

I posted the DRUM Factory print a few posts up, I have a print somewhere?, either in Manual, on CD, or in the "pictures saved" on my puter....IIRC, just the face (basically the side showing thru the rim slots/holes) of the caliper was brushed with the same drum paint, no paint on the rotor...if I find it, I'll post it...at "work" right now
