Default Mouldings

Been searching for a bit, but couldn't find a clear answer. I've got an EF hatch and the previous owner did a Maaco paint job on it and they got overspray on the Mouldings and a little bit on the bumpers. Planing to do a Roller paint job which would probably come out better than a Maaco job, and i was wondering what kind of paint would i need to get to give it an OEM look.

Edit: Mudflaps too! Paint on the Mudflaps need to get a coat of paint.

maybe search for MOLDING?

oem look and oem durablity? maybe automotive BASF paint?

no offers but you can ghetto your car with roller and looks half decent for a while, automotive paint cost so much because they are meant to last a long **** time if you do it right.

i never really get why people spent 50 buck(which will not be 50) on paint and spend 2 week doing the work when you can spend 500(or less for SS) for a full automotive paint and have peace of mind knowing you will have at least ten service year under any condition.

If you are talking about your bumper moldings; duplicolor has the ''OEM'' black spray paint. Works perfect.
