You mean "what looks good?" or "what did the factory do?"?

My deck lid is body color both sides with satin black hinges and hardware. The rear astro vent grills are body color while the well inside is flat black.

My car has been repainted twice since 68. No idea what the factory did....I just did what I thought looked good.

May not be much help, I have an original '75, and the underside is body color. Some latch hardware is painted, some is natural finish.
