Dear John and Victor,
On my 69 2000 I (spray) painted the rear brake drums with high-temp, black
(high-gloss) engine paint: some ordinary, off-the-shelf stuff. I did that
almost one year ago and it doesn't interfere with cooling or brake
performance; however, I run (old-style) 14" Amer. Racing Libre wheels,
which have generous open spaces between the 4 "coke-bottle" spokes.
Best,
Teddy
