Scuttle panels question

So today it took off my scuttles as they are faded and oxidised so I resolved to protect them from further UV damage by a abrading the damage off and prepping them for painting.

Now being black ABS should I just spray with a mat or satin black bumper or should I put a build primer and let the body shop colour match them for me when I have the other bits done. Very few cars these days don't have colour matched scuttles. What do people think?

They are so well hidden I don't think it really matters whether black or colour coded.
Have you tried something like 'back to black' bumper cleaner?

Beyond back to black as almost white in the exposed parts from UV damage, all sanded off back to good material and prepped for painting, just a question of black or colour matched.
