Paint Job

Over time the paint on plastic will age differently from the paint on metal. So, after a couple of years the colors will be off anyway. Maybe you should just live with it?

^ agreed.

Eomak, what size wheel spacers do you have in the back?

I have sent back paint work many times. If you paid a lot they should have done a better match.
That being said, silver is tough. I've had front and rear bumpers painted maybe six or seven times since racking up 90K miles.
But I've never had that dramatic a difference as you have there.

There is no messing with camera settings here.
Just a cheap point and shoot Minolta in day light and a night time shot.
Front bumper and skirting was painted locally, not at the factory.

Plastic/ABS/Poly etc. for some reason takes on a different shade on lighter colored cars, even when using the same paint...I wonder if it has to do with the flex agent...Look at a silver car on the showroom floor, and you'll notice a subtle variation between the metal and poly parts...

Yes, color is off.

Pretty comon problem with silver metallic, or any light metallic colors. Normally you have to blend in the color. But that's no option on addidtional panels like these.
