Are talking about the trim piece that goes around the headlight? The trim with the turn signal light. When I think of "bucket", the part the headlight mounts into comes to mind - but that really wouldn't be visible once everything is assembled.

Regarding the trim, I used statin black to paint it and it looks nice. Flat black and glossy black don't look good) IMO.

Left (upper): 13015 is the headlamp retainer / 13064 is the headlamp door aka bezel / 13118 right & 13119 left are the headlamp buckets / 13200 is the parking lamp.

They look the same, but looks can be deceiving, because...

Right: There are 4 different types of headlamp doors.

Left (lower): There are 3 different types of parking lights.

I was wanting to paint the entire bezel. The chrome/plastic on mine is scuffed up. But I have this grill and a chrome bumper.

I would recommend buying new ones, they aren't that expensive, and will look much better than spray paint.

Yeah, I found them on partsgeek.com for less than 40.00 shipped.
But I do like the look of that one.
