Are you looking for a factory or aftermarket color? I have the Factory, PPG and S-W paint codes for just about every car out there right now in my database.
If you are looking for trim offset color of black it's actually a flat black according to my chart. Let me know, I probably can find the factory color number for you.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the offer! Back in 2009 when I had my SSP painted, I accidentally gave the body shop the SEM part number for a 1983 Mustang (black), instead of an 1985 (charcoal). Although I caught the error before the car was finished, I decided to go forward with the trim black. My SSP is back in the body shop. For some reason I couldn't find the forum/thread where I located that SEM paint number, so I am trying to match it. I failed to get a response on FEP, so I pressed forward with SEM 39143 - I'll let y'all know if I was right or wrong.

I went with SEM 39143 (black) with great results. It's nice to have the car back!

So this is actually that 30% gloss type black, not quite flat but not glossy enough type paint right? Just curious as there are actual paint codes on the years for the car's trim that I've found but shows it to be "flat black". Is this actually a touch up job or are you trying to paint the exposed plastic/rubber area on the bumper to look like new? Just curious so when I buy one of these cars I can understand what you are talking about.
Thanks!

It's for the thick molding that goes around the car for stopping door dings and such. On the bumper of my '85, it's actually a molded into the bumper, rather than something that is stuck onto it. The other molding pieces either stick on or bolt on to the body. The trim black color looks great, and is accurate for an '83, but I like the trim black color (satin) when a car is painted black. My car isn't 100% accurate in how I had it refurbished (I hate the word "restored"). The changes are subtle, but certainly could be reversed if necessary.
To show you the trim, here is side shot of the car -
