Question To Paint or Not to Paint

Ok so heres the problem my 98 s-10 was in an accident recently and the lower valance was replaced, the problem is my truck is white and the valance is a shade of grey due to no more manufacturing of a white one. Its not a problem but it bugs the crap out of me! its a hard plastic i remember a comerical on tv about some plastic spray paint or something like that. Any ideas? they would surely be appreciated!

Thanks

Welcome to AF
I would check with some paint and body shops.
Or some parts places that sell paint supplies.

Parts places that sell paint should have the right paint.

Re: To Paint or Not to Paint

Go to the parts store pick up a spray bomb or two of body paint scuff it up a little while washing it with a Scotch Brite pad take your time putting on your coats and soon it will be white as the rest of your truck
