Bumper Color = OFF!
Has anyone else noticed bumper color on most TLs is off?
For example,

Mine isn't....
Here is why:
1- When painting a rear bumper on any car that has such a tight fit to the 1/4's or fenders, blend the adjacent panel. It won't be perfect due to the change from metal to plastic, but it will be a million times closer than what you have.
2- Find a shop that use water borne paints. They match a lot better than solvent paints.

0peminc,
As BradE, there is a notorious issue, and is worse on certain colors compared to others.
I believe White Diamond Pearl is the most affects. Now, I have SSM, and it doesnt match at all, but I am also mising the VIN sticket from my bumper, so it was with peeled off, or i have a replacement bumper on ...
anyways, here's the eyesore....
