Confused so lets see if we can narrow down the information to get you the best info.

Is your car a 70 Mustang, 70 Boss 302, or 70 Shelby? Screen name made me wonder

Also when and where was the car built? Something that will be needed almost always when you post a question or picture  Might want to add that info to your signature like most people here so its automatically included in your posts

If you want a simple answer, trunk lids were installed before painting and yes, the bolts would be body color. Just a general answer to how Ford did most of their cars.

His screen name includes GT500. That is the reason I asked . If he has a Shelby most cars would not be correct if they followed your suggestion above.
