You could use the GM Color Matched Spray Paint that they offer.

I actually have the can right here, the part number is 12345539 for Victory Red.

I have heard people using Duplicolor, but I'm not too familiar with it or how close of a match it is.

The Duplicolor is as close as you can get. Also, with it being on plastic versus the sheet metal of the car it wont look exact even if you buy the factory paint. I would highly reccomend the Duplicolor for a job like this.

Yes you would need a primer for the plastic. I think either way you go, GM or Duplicolor, it would work out well for you.

I just used the duplicolor victory red on my rear lip on a scuff and it matched absolutely perfect. I can't tell a difference at all and I even blended the paint in.
