Storm Lock pearl white with CS Hybrid Ball Plug...

Post by snick »

I'm having some issues matching the pearl white used on the Storm Lock, with CS Hybrid Ball Plug.
If I add enough white to match the color, the plug becomes too flat/opaque. Not enough white and the plug is too yellow-ish.

Is this plug compatible with other color kits, such as Ebonite's?

The best way to get a definitive answer is to call the plug manufacturer and/or Ebonite to ask a technical representative. -- JohnP

I found the Ebonite color kit to be compatible with CS Hybrid.
The pearlizing effect of EBI pearl is a close match to the factory pearl.
The Vise pearl paste seems to get swamped by the color pigments, especially white.
