They get kind of silvery as they age--I've had very good results on automotive trim using Rustoleum's Satin series black rattle-can paint (Home Depot stocks it). It tales a bit longer than some to dry (2-4 hours), however it produces a very durable finish that stands up to bug-splats, etc. quite well.

I tried painting the chrome ring around the pony in the grill black.. it looked good for a while then bits of the paint started chipping off.. now it looks like CRAP [:@]

I used Eastwood black trim paint on mine. It looks like new now.

As with all coatings and plating, preparation is the key. Make sure you clean and dewax/degreasebefore shooting the paint, use Prep-All or similar for the final wipe and it will hold up pretty well.I blacked out the corral and the GT side and rear emblems on my '03 4 months and 12k miles ago; they still look great.
