    Matching White Paint? Lol...

    Get a spray paint can of White Plastic Dip / Peelable paint... My friend's White Prius has that stuff all over the place and it never once looked like it didn't match. That way if you don't like the look you can peel it off and try black or another color instead.

    The way I understand it, blizzard white happens to be a paint that requires two separate applications. A white coat, and then an overcoat that gives it its special patina.

    Isn't the paint less patina on the plastic parts?
