I'm joining in. I'm pretty sure the backing plates (and drums) were installed when rear was painted black. For the fronts, I recall mine were dipped black, but I could be mis-remembering.

On the 3rd Gen Novas the rears were bare steel on the inside. Then the axle assembly was sprayed with black rust preventative. This covered the outside only. The fronts were bare inside and out. Hence why the rusted faster than the shields on the disc brake cars. Greg
