You can use bumper and trim paint (with a flexive additive so it doesn't crack on plastic). They sell it in semi-gloss black. You should also buy a can of adhession promoter, it's like primer.

I used Bumper Coater from Lordco...works great. Just remember to scuff everything and on the surfaces that flex, just a adhesion promotor before painting.
Good Luck!

I have used the bumber black stuff from lordco and it works well. I recommend doing this on the euro-bumpers and fender flairs because the plastic tends to fade very quickly. I have not had any problems with the paint cracking off yet. just make sure the surface is really clean before painting or the paint will not adhere very well.
