I would just use the Krylon Fusion plastic spray paint. Assuming you can get a close enough color to match.

Fusion won't hold up as well outdoors, and if the plastic has been treated with anything it is much more likely to orange peel then outdoor will.

Why? Do some very light wet sanding (1000grit) and spray 2 coats of outdoor on it

I used the Krylon plastic fusion almost two years ago and it turned out amazing. Still has not showed any signs of fading with being outside and trail use. Just masked off the body and went at it!

I'm not saying it can't or won't work, just that its very finicky and sensitive.
