So on a green car Under the hood, Outer edge is green on all four sides with black in center of hood or green on 3 sides with black all way to edge on front edge near front bumper?

I need some good pics of how the under the hood paint should look from factory

The black out was painted with the hood installed on the car so the front edge does not have black out.

So it's black in center right. Are all 4 outer edges body color then?

Photo below shows a typical '65 original paint and blackout job, as it left St. Louis; 3 sides (sides and rear) were as shown, and there was very little primer, color, or blackout along the bottom of the front edge, as the top of the radiator support was in the way of spraying it.

Stupid question... If they were painted after installation why aren't the bolts black? Is it just age showing?

JohnZ

Yup - just age showing; they were blackout when the car left the plant.
