Default AP1 rear valence paint code?

Anyone know what color the stock valence is painted? I got my AP1 bumper second hand and it was all painted the same color (berlina), but like it better two tone. The valence looks something like a flat black or something but not sure. I don't think it comes painted from the factory, kind of like a non-painted FRP look

Here's some pics.. it's the mid piece:

Yeah I know I was hoping to get a paint code similar to that color. You think flat or matte black would work?

Any matte/flat black is probably going to be ok since there's no other raw black plastic on the rear of the car there's nothing to compare it to.

Thanks for the info guys. Completely forgot about PlastiDip I think I might try that out first since it's cheap and removable.

Thread is a could months old, but it's not likely that you could just strip it. When it was painted, it was likely sanded in order to prep for paint. It wouldn't like right when stripped.

Personally, I would be doing a little prep work on it, then spraying it with black trim paint.
