Correct Colors

I am painting the underside of my T-Tops. They look to be satin black now. Are they susposed to be the the color of the vehicle (Red). Also the underside of the hood also appears black. Is that correct ?

It's called blackout and the John Deere "Black Blitz" is the color many use that matches up with the original shade of blackout. The shade may be closer to a flat black rather than satin black but you're on the right track.

GM reconditioning paint has the original look to it.
