I know this is a basic question but I am away from both my car and my resources and I need the answer quick... The underside of the hood on a 1969 Road Runner - body color or something else? While we are at it, what is the correct color for wheel drums for manual brakes on the same car? I seem to remember red, but that may be for my Pontiac.

Thank you ahead of time!

engine compartment & underside of the hood is the same color as the rest of the car's body

1969 cars with W21 "chrome style ROAD wheels" (MAGNUM 500s) had the face of the drum painted RED

Sorry! I was mistaken. I feel bad about that. The latch hook (not the safety latch) and the trunk hook bolted to the bracket on the trunk floor are commonly incorrectly restored.

If it was as a mod top they had special paint schemes.

Cause the question was about drums.

I have an engineering drawing for disc that shows the top of the calipers getting a red wipe and I had evidence of the same red paint drops/splashes on the original rotors of my AAR. I'll post the drawing later if no one else does.


Careful, your character's showing!
