I went to the local paint store and bought SEM "Honda black bumper paint". It is an exact match the surrounding finishes. It is a semi-gloss, hard but flexible paint meant to recoat the black trim strips on the fronts and rear of cars. I also used it to paint the rear chrome trim strip!

Oh, and I had the paint shop make up some high temp Toreador red paint for my calipers, front trim ring, and engine parts. Bought some expensize clearcoat and went to town. Heres a pic that should give you an idea of texture and color of the SEM honda black paint:

Hey, how hard is it to remove the chrome strip to repaint it? And what grit sandpaper did you use to remove the chrome, or did you use muriac acid? That black looks great.
