Hi, What do you think of this paint job I got at the dealership after they replaced the bumper with a new one?

The picture was taken when outside was already a little dark and they did not bother to wash the rest of the car.

I kinda noticed the difference in colours (from far) as I was walking towards the car with the guy from the dealership.

It looks like a different paint colour all together (the bumper side is a lot more white)

I left it there and told them that its a different colour and to also fix the paint bubbles and swirl marks they left in the rear bumper.

Am I insane to think that the colours are different (play with your phone/screen brightness to make sure you catch it)? The car is only 2 years old, I know in time paint goes a little bit bust but a few months back they fixed the front bumper and I noticed no such discrepancy in colours. I also think the difference between the 2 colours is huge.


Thanks!

Even on a new car there will be a difference in colour between plastic and metal parts

Yep, exactly….

But ain't this difference way too big?


When they replaced the front bumper (which is also plastic) with a new one and painted it, the difference was unnoticeable compared to its metal parts, I had no issues with the paint then. But now its like im looking like two very different colour codes..

You guys would accept this or send it back?

Maybe it's just me but I can't tell anything from that pic. Given the angle, shadow graduates across it so you can't see the hue evenly across the panels.

Maybe try to even out the light or take some pix further back?

Also, how new or old is the car? Garage kept? The older a car is and/or if it is exposed to the elements more, the more likely I'd expect some differenc.
