What you need is SEM trim paint, it's available in a couple levels of gloss, I use
# 39143 which is almost flat, I believe the
glossier version would be more OEM.
I pulled my trim, sanded smooth w/600 grit
and a quick wipe down with laquer thinner,
and sprayed 3 good wet coats. It dries to a
very thin surface and appears to be extremely
durable.
