Default Painting Bumper Side Markers PPW

So a little while back I painted my reverse/turn signal lenses red to match my taillights, which I found on this link and was described by Phreakdout on Post #13 https://my350z.com/forum/350z-roadst...ket-parts.html

My next goal is to paint the side markers on my front bumper white to match my car as well.
Does anybody have a suggestion as to what paint to use to paint these? They are a lens similar to the reverse lights so I assume a hobby type of paint would work again but does anybody know what color would match best?

Thanks for any suggestions.

go to autozone or someplace and get your color code to match the body.... prime it before the paint, light coats of paint, let dry, wet sand with fine grit sandpaper, paint again, clear coat

Seems like such a process though. I know the secret to good paint is doing all of the proper steps.
But when doing the taillights, it was as simple as clean them, then apply 3 coats of paint.

do you want to do it fast or do it right....

doing it fast you may have to do it again one day, take time and do it right and never have to touch them again
