Painted tail light bezels & bowties (update PICS)

Hey guys, been searching around and needed some advice. Going to paint my tail light bezels, bowties, RS emblems and the side camaro emblems.
I'm gonna buy color matched SIM paint for the bowties, painting part SIM and part flat black. Also gonna paint the chrome part of the RS emblems flat black and leave the red inside.

Question is, should i use automotive flat black paint for the bowties since half is flat black and half will be the automotive SIM matched paint or does it not matter? I guess if i use primer and not the flat black to prime under the SIM for bowtie i should be fine right?

Gonna paint tail light bezels now with flat black and do bowties once i can get the SIM paint. Just want same flat black so if i should use automotive flat black i'll get that when I can or I'm guessin dupli color and adhesion promoter would be best and i'll get that now an do bezels asap.
Thanks! is duplicolor flat black the best to use? I want a good durability (which i know relies mostly on prep)
