Rick - Grilles are black on both sides. Engine lid structure is painted black on the topside only. The underside (side facing engine) is body color; see below. This is on my '74; lid is original paint.

Rick, I've only seen a couple of cars with the lid structure painted black, and they all had overspray on the bottom. Both my personal cars have been body color on top.
