Default 70 L78 Nova painting details ?

Looking for some help on paint details for a 1970 Nova L-78.
Forest Green, 04A, Willow Run car sold new in Manitoba Canada.


Car had seen a few repaints and repairs over the years so details were sketchy when torn down.


-Should the top of the body cowl (under the removeable cowl vent) be body color or black? (appeared to be mostly black with some obvious repaint green overspray). Sides of cowl area were clearly painted green to front edge of firewall and up to body seam (under the fender, back to the roof pillars).
Pic of 69? Camaro attached from another thread has body color cowl. If body color how far would it extend up to?/into? the base of the windshield ?


-Door latches ? Screws ? (Appeared to be installed and painted with no masking).


-Trunk Latch? Screws? (Appeared to be installed and painted with no masking).


-What was the procedure for installing the windshield base molding ? It does not seem possible to install the end (wrap around pillar) trim clips with the fenders on the car. Did the factory install the fenders after paint ? Am I missing something here ?


Thanks for your help guys !
Gary
