Default Bumper Paint Question

Is the paint on the flexible bumper parts different from the paint used on the fiberglass body panels? I thought I read it was but couldn't find it. Also, if it is, does anyone have the paint codes for the bumpers (Black) or know what type of paint is used.
Thanks

The paint color is the same but when it's mixed you add an additive to make it more flexible to resist cracking. I know some guys only use it when painting the bumper off the car to avoid cracking during the reinstall and don't when painting the bumper on the car.

It has a flex agent added so it wont crack, stuff comes off fairly easy because it eventually does start cracking.
