Fixing a gash in a new uPVC window frame? (Scale modelling tools and know how)

Ok so we have had new uPVC french windows installed in our place (happy!!) but they instantly received a gash at the bottom of one of the white plastic frames a few days after install (sad...). Now using some modelling tools and a bit of squadron filler I easily filled the gash, polished it up with grades of a sanding stick and now I have a small light grey (filler colour) triangle in the new pure white frame and not sure how to go about adding colour (white) to the filled area. Do I give it a coat of white enamel or white revell acrylic -my preferred paint choice?  Or use something else entirely.  The filled gash is about 3x3mm.

 

thoughts are very welcome 👀

By some bizarre coincidence my searches about summerhouses brought this up earlier today. No idea whether it is any good but I imagine that what you are looking for is something that will either not discolour or if it does discolour do it at the same rate as the uPVC.

Good luck. Or at least better luck than my assurance to my wife that Milliput fine white would invisibly repair the sink I broke.....
