    Correct paint codes? (or close)

    I'm getting my bumpers, fenders, trim and hard top repainted at a local autobody shop. Does anyone know the proper professional paint codes for these items? And what type of paint to use? I know it's not a gloss. But it's not flat either. I also know the plastic is a molded color. So I guess...
