Not trying to start anything here but your statement doesn't make any sense to me. Regardless of frp or aluminium you're still laying a catalized primer over the part before applying the two stage base coat. The only reason there would be a mismatch in color is if the painter screwed up somehow in the first place. In fact Nissan uses several different materials to construct their cars, it's not all aluminium. I think the fenders are fiberglass.

Yes qab is hard to match, not saying it won't be a little different but it's not going to fade like you're saying.

Why would aftermarket bumpers not match if you don't mind me asking? I've seen FRP, CF and ABS aftermarket bumpers that have been color matched by a professional painter. It ALL comes down to the choice of shop and paint as far as color matching. The work pictured above of my bumper was done over 6 months ago and I have yet to see a bit of fade,
