Does anyone know what the paint codes are for trim and bumpers? In my case I removed a front plate that was.....just screwed into the plastic bumper. Filled in the holes and am now trying to paint to match. The car is blue but the bumper is a glossy black. I tried a couple generic gloss blacks but they are not right. On our fpace my drivers mirror got popped and the main housing was salvageable with one major crack that I epoxied. So I want to sand/paint crack. It looks like a medium gloss black but I am not sure. The COVER of the mirror matches the paint, but the rest of the mirror is this semigloss black plastic. (seems to be on a lot of other outside trim pieces as well. )

Seems that the factory colors are listed everywhere, however, they never mention the trim or bumpers.
Thank you.

 

The best option is to paint those entire pieces (once you allow a few months for shrinkage of any filler).

Have you asked a NAPA (or other auto parts) store for their mixed paint pallet? They can do a LOT of variations. We found a very good match for aftermarket wheels at a NAPA.

HTH

 

Not a bad idea. I guess it is odd that the main color codes are readily available from mulitple sources but not trim. heck the black bumpers on my blue f-type are fairly substantial. One would think that paint code would be common (gloss black) across models and available.

 

I'm not sure that bumper bar is painted. I always assumed it was just glossy plastic.

 

Iirc the back side of the center grille bar is also black albeit not glossy, so this is very like true.

The chrome trim is gray inside (when broken) and is a coating instead of paint/material color.
