Proper paint colors for: bumper fillers, grille, headlight bezels?

Hi folks,

I have new bumper fillers and headlight bezels that I need to have painted and would like to touch up the grille as well.

I'm wondering what (1) the original paint codes or (2) best looking paint colors/gloss levels are. I'm short on time and will probably take em to a shop instead of going the DIY route.

Thanks!
Scott

The bumper fillers were painted the same gloss black as the body. The bezels and grille were semi-gloss trim black. Opinions vary on what is the correct semi-gloss black.

Thanks Eric.

I found elsewhere that factory black was code 19U.

As long as the bezels and grille match each other in their semi-gloss black, I'm not concerned about getting it super-duper authentic.
