<VV> Paint for 64 Finned Drums?

[Frank DuVal]

Back in 1982 I painted the drums on my '64 Spyder chassis black. Never 
noticed a difference in performance.

Radiators are painted black, and they emit heat just fine.

Why tape that area before painting? Just let the paint cure before 
installing the wheel! And don't make it too thick. We're not trying for 
a car finish in this location, just protection from rust.
