Highly doubt the color will match up right,just save up and paint it. Ive used plasti dip to cover up faded bed caps and with time the plasti dip bubbles and cracks,never buying it again,just my 02

It won't even be close. The plasti dip has a flat finish, so right off the bat it will look funny.

you can get a glossy clearcoat for it. but yea i doubt it will match. but its only $5 dont like it peel it off. I have sprayed all the trim moldings chrome on bumpers and rims on my 2500 a few months ago and havent had any peeling. I applied 5-6 coats and washed panels with dawn and then wiped with alcohol before painting.

Im am going to a el camino in the next week but i will be using a gun to shoot it
