I have heard if the car was to be equipped with magnums or rallye rims it would get red paint on the drums? Is this correct? I have a 71 charger rt that is a drum car rear disk in front but was rallye rims. Would that be red? 1969.5 A12 Bee EV2 1971 Charger RT 1973 Duster tubbed 500 low deck 10.90 monster 3 440 polara vert projects

Plain steel wheels with dog dish or full wheel covers would NOT have had the drums painted. Obviously a mistake could have been made on the line but this was supposed to be the procedure. If your car came with the Rallye wheels, then the drums would have been painted.

Where they painted all the way around the drum or was it just the face? I seem to recall seeing some that looked like someone just walked up with a brush and slopped it on the face and it dripped down the ribs of the drum. Anyone got a pic of a "correct" one? thanks 1969.5 A12 Bee EV2 1971 Charger RT 1973 Duster tubbed 500 low deck 10.90 monster 3 440 polara vert projects

Paint it like a drunk factory worker and you will be spot on. Calipers are suppose to have the top 2 inches painted as well, but many will argue that issue, I actually had red paint on the hub area of my original rotors (AAR). 8398216-IMG_2338.JPG (146 downloads) Careful, your character's showing!

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. 8399648-100_4926.JPG (81 downloads)
