i bought some paint for the vette from automotivetouchup.com and sanded and painted the front plate bracket and the 'corvette' plate filler in the stock magnetic red metallic.
Both got 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear... pretty freakin good match for a spray can

Looks great. For Just pictures looks like a perfect match

Match and finish looks really good. Be very careful installing though, without any flex agents in the primer/ color coat/ clear, it may crack if you bend it too much.

the plate filler is an aftermarket solid fiberglass piece, not the flimsy plastic OEM one, and the plate bracket installed no problem
