LEGACY trim question

In my infinite wisdom yesterday I used a power washer to clean the engine bay. I also used it to clean behind the black trim above the doors. (leaves) My trim is no longer black... the power washer too the paint (about half) off and has exposed chrome? What kind of paint adheres to chrome...preferebly rattle can. And does anyone know the exact color? This or something similiar has had to happen to one of you legacy owners....

Yeah, but my wife is out of town and it is her car. I bought the rims as a present and was cleaning the engine bay in prep to detail it. Now I have to "re-black" the trim before she gets home.

Well, the previous owner had re-painted some of the trim, but didn't mask it very well.

I have no idea what they used. Sorry.

Just paint it all, I think any gloss or satin black will do depending on what you like better.
