Natural steel.

agreed, most of the over the counter replacements were either black or dipped in cosmoline. I have a pair of the latter

[bobfist]

so im doing right if i do them looking like steel?

Ive seen some pictures there the rear drums are painted as cast iron and the inner rear brake shield are painted as bare metal.
Is that right?

You are doing them right if you are leaving them bare steel. Doing them with some kind of bare steel paint is just "doing them".

Brake drums are bare steel as well. If the car had any kind of styled wheel the face of the drum received red paint......many photo's of the procedure on this site.

The brake backing plates were plated in zinc phosphate - although my friend Geno may argue that on his car......

what kind of solution is that soaked in to get the brake parts like that? ive never seen that done before. whats the difference between coating them like you did compaired to spray paint?

Looks a lot better than paint Bobfist  

It looks similar to stuff I use on bare metal parts after bead blasting....I call it Quick Black.

The bead blast leaves the bare metal look too shiny.....A fast dunk in quick black makes it look like new fresh metal again. Tumbling the bare metal parts has a similar effect - unfortunatly I don't have a huge tumbler for the big stuff.
