    The engine compartment side should be painted black.

    IF your asking about the spring side of the shock tower it would normally match the color used on the bottom of the frame rail which can differ depending on when your car was assembled. This color may be completely covered by black overspray (from the radiator support black out being applied further rearward than normal by a worker) or by body color (from the radiator support black out being applied further forward than normal by a worker)
