What color are brake drums when new? My wire wheels have a beautiful
new silver paint job contrasted harshly against a burnt orange
background of rusty brake drums. Do I paint the drums , and if so ,
what kind of paint?

I just put the wheels back on last night, with new 175-70-13 tires,
reinstalled the dash and enough electricals to run the engine and was
all geeked to take it around the block . I thought I should wait until
daylight since the headlights are not 100% but when I woke up this
morning there was a blanket of snow on the ground. Drat! I might as
well pull the wheels and clean up the drums since I won't be driving
anywhere. 4 to 6 more inches tonight.
