After thinking about it a while I relised it is already painted. What would be the best way to paint it? Should I go with the fussion paint, prime and use Krylon regular satin black, use a dupli color afrom the flaps, or usetruck bed liner paint (not sure how much texture that would give me. Dont want to spend 400 to just replace that strip, I am a cheap SOB. Don't have my camera so this is the only pic I can find of a jetta bumper, Oh my car is silver and the part I want to paint black is the thin insert.

Buy a good car paint, PPG Delstar, doesn't need a clear coat. There is a additive that you add to the paint that rubberizes it, makes it flexible so it won't crack. Use that and prep and paint, you're done. Cost should be under $100 if you buy the smallest cans of additives and just a pint of paint.
