I used to be able to add a solid color to the backside of a layer but for some reason this set of instructions is not working. Anyone have an idea why? 

 

Apply Fill to your layer. Then apply CC Composite to the layer and apply this expression to the CC Compsites Effect Opacity parameter:

if (toCompVec([0, 0, 1])[2] > 0 ) 100 else 0

Just noticed you are missing Curly Braces, which is required for AE's Javascript Expression Engine when the expression is entirely on a single line. 

The following should work - 
if (toCompVec([0, 0, 1])[2] > 0 ) {100} else {0}
