    flat black trim paint i think is what everyone uses. but make sure it has a flex agent in it or it will crack.

      I used Krylon sandable primer and *SEMIGLOSS* black. Matches the black plastic grills perfectly... you can't even tell.

          I also used semi-gloss black and painted the rest of the grille as well. It helped it match a little better and freshened up my tired grille

                    Duplicolor trim paint. The kidneys are hard plastic, why would you need something with flex agent?

                          Little pricey but when you shoot it you will know where the extra bills went.
