Default Paint Question

Does the underside edge of the Convertable deck lid get painted
body colour like the hood does or is it black.

The only part of the underside of the hood that should show body color is the 1"-wide flat area adjacent to the outer edge; all the rest of the underside of the hood was blacked-out.

The underside of the convertible deck lid is all body color, including the release handle, cables, and latches.

Default Thanks John

Thanks I did not realize all of the under side of the lid was
body colour. I will passthat on to my painter. He is going
to paint after New Years then I get the car back for the
fun of finishing off the electrical and Interior. I will post
some pics when it is done.
