What color are the screw heads supposed to bee?

I cleaned up the finish panel and repainted it.
Screw heads stick out like a sore thumb.
 
Screw heads should be same as the tail panel.

Cardboard match and a little touch up paint... I will do it tonight.

Any chance you would measure the holes in your trunk lid for the Bee? I used my Coronet trunk lid which has no holes.
I shouldv'e measured the Bee lid prior to selling the Coronet. I'm not sure how you could give measuring points but any help sure would be appreciated.
And thanks for your help.

Factory measurements shown below as best my old eyes can measure. This is an original unmolested deck lid from my Super Bee, not a clone, not somebodies hack job or wanna bee. Reason I know this is 'cause I've owned it forever.

Great job on the tail panel. Any tips on how you cleaned it up and what paint did you use?
 
I used 409, then dish soap. Hand dried. Believe it or not after 3 test sprays on a different panel with 3 different variations of black, Rustoleum FLAT black was dead on.
 
For anyone following this thread. I think I may have run into a set back. I had the body shop install a full AMD trunk pan only because my original pan was pitted some (boy do I regret it now) . They marked all the old spot welds, made a template and I feel like they did a decent job. HOWEVER.... AMD trunk pans don't come with the gas tank strap brackets??? I mean they are supposed to be welded on the bottom side!!!??? I went to install a new SS fuel tank and my jaw dropped. Last year I saw the new trunk pan didn't come with the spare tire hold down, so I had the shop weld it in place. But this pan doesn't have the brackets that the J hooks, which connect the fuel tank strap to the bottom of the trunk pan. Now WTF do I do?

I ordered a full floor last year and the brackets were included in the package...Still have them as I'll run a race tank in the trunk.
