Yellow owners, Body panels not matching?

Csquared · 03-24-2010, 03:43 AM

I took it to the dealer, They said that because all the parts that are a slightly darker yellow due to several reasons.

They had to use a special type of adhesive to make sure the paint stick better to the plastic, so that in case of a collision, eg a rock, hitting the bumper the plastic would warp because it's bendable, this in turn would cause the paint to detach from the bumper and chip off/crack. The additive would prevent this. Apparently the problem is it doesn't play that well with the self healing clear that is used and so is noticable when the light reflects off them at certain angles.

They said if i wanted they could sand down the car rip it apart and respray without the additive. But I said no.

I hope I was semi clear.
