What to paint OEM front lip with?
 
Is there a consensus on which paint to use on the oem NA front lip if you're not getting it done body color? satin? flat?

trim panel or bumper paint.

I use automotive black trim paint. It is kinda in between satin and flat and can be found at any parts store for around $5 a can.

Your car is black, leave it unpainted. When I got mine it was a custom blue, I stripped it, sanded and polished.

The trim is a clear/black paint that helps return it to that stockish black if its faded, blotched, etc.

I used flat black bumper paint, just a quick sanding and no clearcoat
