Or does it really work to match factory plastics?

Default haha YES, I want that!
No, I am sick of birdcrap maple and was wondering if it would be good to use for the shifter surround since I heard it wont chip or anything. Or am I just better off using a flat black spray paint? I want to paint the shifter surround, ash tray cover, hazard light piece, and maybe paint the rest silver but not sure on the silver yet.

Default Yes..
The color match is excellent, as is the texture. But if not applied perfectly it will scratch easily
