Getting ready to paint after full body restoration and am wondering if clear coat was used on the inside of hood. Is it ok to paint the inside of fenders black on a maroon car?

Also need some bumper bolts and they are tapered on the end for alignment , any suggestions

Check me if I'm wrong, but hood undersides were generally a flat black.

Fender interiors were often, if not always, body co.or. Yours would be maroon.

Regarding bumper bolt, try checking the AuVeCo re-packaging servic at your pats store. Thete should be a be a  variety of bumper bolts available.

I don't think clear coat was originally used in 1940.

Authenticity Manual Says;
under hood, and underside of fenders: Semi Gloss Black
The body was painted without the fenders so the visible body area on the rear (behind the tire) will be body color.

I makes sense if the the back sides of these parts was painted semi gloss black and the outside was painted separate from the main body.
They had no reason to paint what was to them the underside.
