Style of drum is going to vary depending on application and supplier

Here are some original service pieces that have been posted earlier and some new ones, that show finish and contrast as well as untreated/messed with cast surfaces

Hope they help

That's a fair bit darker than I thought.

Do you have any of the rear drums? I'm interested in the bolt up surface.

Thanks again!

Will look for some rear drum examples Only the bottom picture has one on a Shelby from 65 at the SA factory (top right corner) Slightly darker face might suggest its been blacked out but not a great picture for this detail

Southern polyurethane primer works awesome on a black.  IT should be fine on drums a swell.  They don;t get over 200.  Then use a rattle can for the top coat..............
