Interesting that Ron's later car's underhood was painted as 'trim' but the underside of my 1974 hood was painted body color, including the latch and hinges. My car was original paint until 3 months ago, and this was carefully noted.
The headlight lifting bar was also body color, though you see MANY who neglect that or repaint it black. I don't have photos (at work) but that's how mine was, and is.
Hope this helps, and that others will chime in. Great that you're seeking originality.
