I have only seen red screens. I thought they were only black on the non air grabber hoods. Does anyone have a paint code for the red?
I thought the non air grabbers had a ribbed solid piece and not the screens.

Semi flat black for hood without stripes and red for hood with performance hood stripes. I like the red whether you have hood stripes or not. I had some original paint retainer bars (the little angles) for reference. I used a can of Weber red charcoal grill spray paint. It's heat resistant and it matched nicely. Got it at the local True Value Hardware store. Try it. You'll like it. Otherwise, try some different reds until you find one that you like.
I thought the grilles were red with the Air Grabber option regardless of "stripes" or not. When you say "stripes" are you talking the wide hood stripes for the RR and GTX? (like are NOT on that photo of the white hood with the red Air Grabber grilles  )

My brothers low mile very documented N96 69 GTX was ordered hood stripe delete and the screens are red from day one guaranteed. This doesnt answer the original post but I had to make an educated comment.

It might depend on the production date. My screens on the Hemi were black and the car was a Nov 68 production car. I have always thought only the air grabber cars with the performance hood treatment had the red screens?

N96 are red screen. I own 3 original one owner 69 GTX's, 2 with performance hood strips, and all the screens are red.
I prefer the red ones whether they were originally black or not but I know that all screens were not red. My Hemi RR (St. Louis plant) had black screens and I have a pair of original T3 scoops with screens that I got off of an N96 RR back in the 70's that are black. I did buy a new set of replacement screens from a dealer back in 1970 to replace my black metal inserts and they were red. The retainer strips were also red. If anything, the red ones had something to do with the cars production date or the plant but I know without a doubt that not all screens were red.

John, you bring up an interesting point that maybe early cars didnt have red screens yet, there is still much to learn about these old Mopars, I will check the production deate of my brothers car, now I'm curious. Anybody else out there have black screens?

My 2 '69s with the performance hood paint and no AG both had black ribbed inserts - never seen red ones. My '69 AG RR had double screens, reddish-orange in color, woven style. No hood stripes. All 3 were St.Louis cars. Never seen original black screens or the "flat" screen style referred to earlier. The woven screens appear fairly flat on their backsides, though. IIRC, all 3 of my '69 RRs were fairly late production; for sure 2 were.
 In 39 years, I've never seen any factory red metal hood inserts! I have seen plenty of black mesh screens in air grabber cars. I have only seen the red screens in the N96 cars with the painted hood stripes but that's not to say that later model's didn't have red ones in hoods without stripes. I just haven't seen any that I remember? Here's a set of black ones from an original non-stripe car. Thye have never been apart.
