Default Painting trim and bumpers?

I was thinking of repainting my side trim and bumpers tommorow. They are just the DX black and was wondering what paint would match stock the best? Should I just wetsand and paint?

Personally I hate duplicolor. I used SEM Trim Black 39143 for my trim and it looks like it is brand new, which says a lot considering the age of the trim. All you have to do is degrease, scotchbrite, wash, dry, paint 3 medium coats with 5-10 minutes of flash time and your done. Don't touch it too soon afterward. The adhesion is great.

I used duplicolor bumper paint first, in silver. Let it cure, then I used the color matched paint.
