Gary, my 65 Belvedere Convertible is Ruby Red and it has the blackout. I know it has been repainted at least once but I don't think the previous owner went to the trouble of spraying the blackout behind the grille. It's probably factory. I'm about to have mine painted and I have no reason to think that it's not supposed to be blackout so mine will be repainted like it is.
