Gave the hitch a couple coats of satin black and the Denali skin some gloss white. The match seems good and I didn't want to waste actual CM paint on a plastic part.... We'll see.... View attachment 179841 View attachment 179842
But that plastic part is a pretty good piece of your rear end. If my plastic parts weren't colormatched my rig would look like sh*t. That's not a waste of CM paint my friend.

The rustoleum 2x gloss white is pretty f'in close, bro.
I hate close when it comes to paint. Always catches my eye but it's your rig! If it doesn't bother you that's all that matters. I even had to have my body guy blend my hood to my fenders because I could see a slight difference. Same when he painted my rear hatch after I shaved the wiper.

Lots of times even from the factory the paint is slightly off on plastic compared to steel panels. Bothers me too.

I agree with you and should've worded all this differently from the beginning. I was worried about wasting the expensive paint due to it not sticking to the plastic, so I tested the white I had on a little spot. It was so close that I decided to just go ahead and do it. I figured worst case, I'll just do it over.
