Brilliant silver rear bumper a different shade?

on my car it's barely noticable. check my albums page as i have a lot of butt shots in there.

it could be that your bumper was repainted... even if purchased new, they could still paint it due to scuffs pre-delivery and sell the car as brand new.

since the bumpers are painted off site usually, it could be that the factory paint was not 100% matched or the metallic particles were not positioned the correct way.

if you're sure it hasn't had an accident, it will be the second option.

Well I noticed the front bumper being similar as it is a different shade of silver, so the chances of both being repainted are some what slim I would say? Here's a couple pictures, not that it's the best way to show it but it's better than nothing I guess.
