It's a long story but I sent out my orig. hood trim (as a pattern) along with a longer NOS American version that I acquired with the inten...

I've been sandblasting the underside of the SD body before it goes back on the chassis but short of the body colour found on the firewall and possibly some in the wheelwells, I don't see any evidence of original paint down under. Was it bare metal from the factory or painted, and if so what colour?
