If you mean the upper panel that's visible when you open the hood, my original '68 & '69 Chargers were about a 30% flattened black - slightly shinier than a semi-gloss, but no way a shiny black like what the exterior panels would be on a black car. Not a rich shade of black either, but more like what you see on dipped parts. I wouldn't try to duplicate it with a rattle-can though, the area's too big.
