[DeTomaso] Under hood paint

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

I was talking about the hood ( American use ) not the truck/deck.
I can we should standardize how we refer to our hybird cars.
English: Bonnett, Hood, Boot  American: Hood, Top, Trunk
I have no idea what Itali ans call anything!

Mine is matte black on both locations, I have seen both and I was esp
curious about the GTS cars because they have matte black hoods.

I assumed that all Trunk lids/engine hatch covers, were black
underneathmaybe that's wrong too!
