Trim paint color

I have a question regarding the color of the various trim pieces on the GN. I have all of the trim in great shape but want to know what color are they supposed to be? I cannot find paint numbers and want to restore them to the OEM colors and get rid of the "faded" look.

I just painted my headlight bezels semi-gloss black they look good, I did the same with the wheel well mouldings. But the paint GM used on the trim had an almost purple like tone to it, available from (SEM) in spray can #39140

The W/O moldings,windshield,back window and drip moldings, any of the moldings that are aluminum were flourocarbon coated from the factory. No paint is going to make those look OEM. The plastic can be repainted with semi gloss trim paint. The bumpers were painted gloss black like the rest of the sheet metal.

What is the...

What is the best color to paint them if this is the case? I want everything to look factory.

I haven't figured that one out yet. Trying to find somebody who does small batches or even a company that sells the material for a DIY'r has been damn near impossible. I do know that they make some semi-gloss black that can be applied by powdercoat. Its probally going to be the best compromise.
