I have the Evo D ring mounts and rear fascia coming from Northridge in two days. Thanks dudes! Since I want to trim/grind the frame to have the mounts sit flush, what's a good paint that blends well with the black frame?

Black semi gloss is what I used.

Semi Gloss frame paint is what I use on just about everything.

Your local PepBoys will have what you're looking for. VHT is the brand I have been using lately and its self priming, lays down smooth and dries fast.

Well it's going to be 101 degrees in the valley tomorrow so drying shouldn't be an issue! Thanks for the tip, I'll grab a can today.

Is that frame paint better than using a POR paint?

POR15 is better to use on rust. Regular paint is fine if it hasn't rusted.

Por-15 is awesome on rusted metal, however it will chalk if applied on something that gets direct sunlight. I've put an industrial polyurethane over it.
