When I disassembled my 70 Sport Satellite, which came with the road wheels (Magnum 500s), ALL four drums which are still original, have red paint on them.

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 ??

Yes, If the car came with Road wheels or Rally wheels, the drums were painted red. If the car had steel wheels with hubcaps, the drums were left natural.

Yes - in '68-'71, cars with "Road wheels" or "Rallye wheels" had red drums.

Not always.

Challenger T/A with trim rings and dog dishes. At least one had black painted drums from the factory.

I was pretty sure my survivor '74 'Cuda (rallyes) has red drums...guess I'll have to check now.

I thought...and somewhere have the factory papers....that it was a hemi suspension thing to have the red drums.

Isn't it just the face of the drum that's red......and a sloppy job with a brush?

Nope, that would be incorrect.

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.

The disks don't work as well if you paint them!

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

I remember Dayclona stating the calipers were also painted red. I don't believe it was discussed any further. Is it possible an engineering drawing was made up but they decided not to go ahead with that procedure?
