    does the white plasti match up well with the super white? been thinking of color matching my chrom grill surround with this stuff since you dont have to sand it and if i dont like it i can just peel it off.

    LMAO!

    But seriously. . . I've used the Plasti Dip stuff on glove finger tips (the bottle dip stuff -- not spray can) and keys (handle part), and the stuff seems to hold up pretty well. It's very durable, and very "sticky". I think it's petroleum based, and once it's on and dried, it holds up very well.

    Whether the concern is adhesion or durability or cosmetics, the best bet is to try a "test" part and see what you think.
