Default Matte Black paint for exterior trim???

I recently purchased a 68 Standard grille kit. I replaced the center section with a Standard billet insert from Classic Industries. I'm looking for a paint color code to match the paint found on the headlight, upper/lower moldings. Any suggestions guys? I want to paint the remaining plastic grille the same color. Any prep or suggestions for painting plastic too? I know its a matte flat black. Similar to whats on the gas cap and tailight bezels.
Thanks,
Victor

I just redid my center console and dash carrier and used SEM brand Chevy satin black...matched perfectly. You can get it at any auto paint supply store...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm still new to the site but the idea of getting answers and ideas from fellow builders is awesome. Found it SEM39143! Do I need any special primer or adhesion promoter for paint a plastic grille?
