Okay guys this is one I can never seem to get a straight answer on from people who actually know. When were brake drums painted red? 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?

Cool thanks for the info! Now I finally have a solid answer on that. 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

supposed to be just the face Mike. I have several original drums that show that method.

Outter 2 inches of the drum face is what the engineering diagram shows I think. 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).
Careful, your character's showing!
