the hard plastic piece and the metal support that the bumper fits over and has those push in fasteners attached. Its right where the washer fluid container is.

Scotch brite it real good, then clean it with something that will remove any dirt & grease & then spray it with light/even coats. I've used a few different paints for them, the trim black that they sell out NAPA will work fine. (John Deere spay paint kicks ***!)
