I used Krylon Fusion for mine its a spray can, it worked great for me. I've heard a lot of people recommend it.
 






so thats just the regular satin black spray paint you can get from walmart correct? Thanks for the reply.
 






I used the Fusion on my plastic bumpers and it worked out great !
 






I've always used Dupli-Color Trim Paint with great results. It has held up very well over the years.

we use Crest brand Trim Coat here at the body shop, but it is the same thing as listed above, but it comes in satin or gloss black that I know of, maybe more.
 






Yup I used flat black, but im sure it comes in satin too. Yeah I bet you can get it at walmart, you can probably get it at a local hardware store too.
 






Yup, 7 years ago I painted my Mirrors, front grill and rear Pillars with Krylon Fusion. They turned grayish from teh Sun.
Although they still looked pretty darn good, I decided to pretty it up again. I couldn't find teh Krylon this time so I bought Rustoleum for Plastic. Forget it. It doesn't spray out nearly as nice as the Krylon.
