Carats with fiberglass bumpers used a medium silver called cloud grey I think. If it isn't cloud grey, it's the lighter one, the lightest one being reserved for the alloy wheels. I believe that one was called diamond point. The paint code is easy to look up on line. The "rub strip" on Carat bumpers was painted satin black.
