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:

Just curious. I'm sure it has been debated before, but I gotta ask. What the hell is wrong with the 98+ sail panels? I think the pre98 sail panels look cheap and sh!t so I can kinda understand messin' with those. But what the hell is wrong with the sail panels on post 98's? Just lookin' for some justification. Not that it really matters to me. Just...curious I guess. I sure as hell couldn't see swapping post98's with pre98's. That just seems bass ackwards!!

I think for me, I wanted to paint them because I didn't like the fake plastic carbon looking stuff. Plus more people are curious about the car since I painted them black. My brother is looking for a car and we went to a toyota dealer to look at a used Maxima. Out of the corner of my eye and from across the lot I saw three salesmen walking around the car and talking amoungst themselves. As we were leaving, one of them came runnning up and asked what kind of car it was and wanted to know if I was trading it in. I liked the black because it looked a little more subtle. T-red2000, thanks for the compliment. If you like the red, run with it, it's your car!
