Black is "correct", but not all of the underside of the hood was painted. Just the center area...nothing on the sides/edges closest to the fenders, and
very little on the rear, toward the windshield. I have a couple of pics somewhere...I'll see if I can find/scan/upload them.
If you're NOT going NCRS/Bloomington, then you can just go ahead and spray the whole underside. I will give you a little tip, tho...
When you paint the bottom of the hood,
be sure to mask off the
entire fresh air/cowl induction set-up. When I did my '74, I
thought I had all of it masked off, but I didn't...so I got LOTS of nice, semi-black paint all over the top of my NEWLY PAINTED hood!!!
