Well, I actually did find a black matte spray, but I am such a miserable painter they came out awful. Plus, being matte-painted, in another place on the car, I am getting wicked chipping from tiny rocks, sand, etc., revealing the white primer. Ugh. Even if I could get a good black paint finish, the housing is going to be right next to the unpainted black plastic mirror mount. So I figure it is best to go with unpainted black plastic. If I can.

I am getting the black spray paint off, but so far nothing touches this white primer. Porsche musta been using water-base acrylics since before 2001, right? So what removes water-base acrylic paint?
