When you say trim, I suppose you’re referring to the actual grill material, and/or the letters? I’d just use SEM trim black or even Rustoleum satin black. Don’t have any pics yet but I’ll be painting the frame under the grill material black, as the small side areas were done from the factory. I’m pretty sure this area was body color on all 914s, though I’ve always considered it ..wrong. I’d only do it that way for a concours car but it’s Jmho. I do like the understated nature of letters painted black too, and have considered it for one of my builds.
