    Plastidip white vs. Alpineweiss II

    I'd like to paint my volvo lip again since the paint is flaking. The lip is pretty flexible so I thought plastidip would be a good idea. Does anybody have any experience with the white plastidip? How does it compare to AWII? Would the color difference be too ghetto?

    I can guarantee you, with absolute metaphysical certitude that it's not going to be anywhere close to a match.

      The AW is a much warmer (if that makes sense) color than most generic whites. Maybe test on something else first and see if it matches well enough for you.

          I'll try some on a piece of plastic if I can find a can and post results. Black will reduce lip awesomeness by 50% at the very least.

              There's a krylon fusion called I BELIEVE dover white that I found at walmart once. Damn good match actually (for a generic spray can color) and the fusion goes on easy on just about any surface, and way better for plastic stuff like your lip than most paints.
