In the back, wash it down good with soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry completely. Mask the fender openings and anything you don't want to spray, like the LCA's, jounce bumpers, etc. Spray it with a can of the black finish you want - flat, semi-gloss, satin, etc. Enamels are OK, urethanes are harder. Multiple thin coats are always better than a thick coat.

The plastic panels in the front respond well to something like Mothers "Back To Black". I don't think I would paint them.

In the rear I just used some rubberized spray undercoating, made sure I masked everything off, and sprayed away. They look brand new (pure black), and it won't chip off like paint would.
