I searched and can't seem to find this info...
I have to do some brake work on my car (1966 February 10th - San Jose - Automatic K-Code Fastback). I figured it was a good time to tackle what may be incorrect currently on my car. I have my calipers done in Silver Zinc (aumi blast in reality, look great by the way) but I seemed to remember reading somewhere that if you had Steel Styled Rally Wheels, that they were blacked out, is this true or am I remembering this incorrectly? I have to take them apart anyway and though I would fix this if they were incorrect.
Thanks,
Jason

The outside half of the caliper (facing out) is the silver . The inside half is bare cast iron. I haven't seen the outside half of the front calipers blacked out before . I am aware of some 69 style front calipers being black out but not 65-67. I have seen the rear brake drums blacked out on deluxe wheel car. Maybe the rear is what you are thinking of.

Thanks for the response Bob, I wasn’t sure about it and I currently have them done the way you state. I just thought I read that somewhere, but I’ve read a lot of things and could be getting confused with something else. Glad I have them correct.
