Was they painted. Plated or bare metal? If not bare then what was the color of the disc brake shields on a 70 cuda
Thanks in advance

Want to say most of those where hot galvanized dipped during that period? If you look at the finish under the spindle gasket that should tell the story.

All the 70-2 B/E smooth shields that I've seen were painted black.

Well one was black and the other looked like it was galvanized. Both were bead blasted. And will paint them. But will try to make it look like tin/galvanize

Unless you're doing a high end car, they aren't needed. Really, they just make the disc run hotter. A lot of newer cars don't have them.
