Rattle can suggestion to match black ARB bumper paint?

Last year, someone drove their boat trailer into my ARB hard enough to shove the truck sideways and destroy their trailer. The tiny scratches this left (snicker), are begging to be repaired, so I'm looking for the closest rattle can anyone's used. Thanks!

Trim Black by SEM. Any auto paint store. Matched mine really well.

I use Rustoleum Hard Hat Semi-Gloss Black. After you get a little dirt buildup on the surface it matches the ARB finish pretty well. I'd guess any brand of satin or semi-gloss enamel would work, but the Hard Hat seems to hold up under abuse.

D'oh, it's beer thirty plus 15 minutes....

HTH,
Lee

Sea Knight brings up a good point - hadn't thought of durability issue. Does the SEM hold up well? I'm currently pissed off that some black Rustoleum I painted both trailer hitches with last summer looks like hell after only one winter so this reminded me of durability. What say ye?

Would you guys call what ARB uses a satin? Or a semigloss. I was kinda leaning to satin. Is the SEM the same finish/gloss? Since I'm only masking off the corner of the bumper I'm extra paranoid about the matching of ARB.

You *could* try contacting the company and seeing if you could find a paint code and finish type.

Contact ARB in the USA

What's to lose?

i have some paint at home, think it's made by rustoleum, i think, but it's in a green can and it is labled "trim paint". It's a black, semi-gloss. It looks exactly like the finish on the ARB. I painted my wheels with that paint and held them beside the bumper. match.

So Concrete - got a specific paint can color name and product number? I've emailed ARB but who knows what their response will be. Thanks!
