Any light body color would get black paint behind ... any dark body color would be body color.

Yup, you'd have the blackout.
IIRC, this area was painted from below, so you'd have paint on the underside of the radiator support and areas with no blackout where projections blocked the spray...and none on the top of the rad support.
