wraith, just go with black /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My jeep is green and I did my light bezels in black since my rockers, flares, etc are all black. I used Duplicolor Black bumper paint - it is a VERY slight texture to it.

The other idea would be to go to a body shop that has computerize paint matching system, if you want an exact match. If you want close match, but maybe not exact, go to an automotive paints and supply store. Look under Auto Body shop & Equipment supplies in Yellow pages. I went to such a place and the guy sold me what I needed, plus he gave me some little cups with marks that he had made showing me how to mix the paint and other chemicals. I followed his directions and the paint ended up being 99.99% match. I was happy. However, going Black, like Paul suggested maybe the easiest thing to do. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/brows.gif

wraith-

Or you can try black spray on bed liner for your bumpers and plastic fenders. It looks tough and is very practicle.

I was going to use the bedliner on my headlight bezels and the front grill. Until I really scratch up the grill, I'll leave it green. The black bumper paint... I really like it.
