I want to paint my chrome trim, engine grill, and wheels black. I have a quart of black single stage for my rockers and the stripes I am going to put on the car. But I was wondering what I should use on the engine grill and trim and wheels.

Rustoleum seems to be pretty strong, and is flatter then the single stage that I bought. I don't want my grill and wheels to be super glossy, the trim I am not as sure of. Also, wet sanding on wheels and the grill could be a pain, and Rustoleum is self leveling.
