Pearl white paint issue

JJ-NISMO · 02-25-2011, 01:26 PM

I went to a body shop to have something looked at, and while talking with the guy, he pointed out the difference in color between the bumpers and body paint on my PG 370z. He said that all cars will have some variance and it really depends on tha manufacturing process. It relates to the fact that the paint is being applied to two different types of materials, at different points in time, by different people. He said that even if done in the same place at the same time, the different in material would cause color variation. The color change is probably just more noticeable on a pearl color, especially white, but on most cars, at night, if you take an LED light you can see the difference.

My bumpers are fine, but the side skirts are way off.
