For the SEM, they only have a few blacks for trim. IIRC, there is only flat and matte black. Either way, you'll be able to tell which you want. Be sure to do a good surface prep and I bet it'll look great.

Your car is burning my eyes! Is that a phosphorescent paint or what?

When I had mine repainted, they painted that part red. Like others suggested, I lightly sanded the area to be painted, masked everything off and used some primer and semigloss spraypaint. Looks beautiful, and has held up quite nicely over the past year and a half.

Actually, I think the Testors one is called Gaurds red .. I remember having to go look for paint for a real old model and coming across it.
