Yeah SFP is a b**** to match when you get new parts. You just wont be able to do it 100%. You can paint the whole car, but even than, with variations in types of material your painting (body metal vs urethane/Fiberglass/plastic) it will still come out slightly different. Just gotta live with it i guess, and most people won't notice, even tho you will lol

I guess I'm another 2011 RX 350 Lexus purchaser who is dissatisfied with the Starfire Pearl (white) mis-match between the bumpers and the body. The dealer could not help me - apparently the SFP white is a prevasive Lexus problem. The darker colors do not have this problem.

A number of other manufactures do NOT seem to have such a big mis-match in the white color. Also, my 2004 RX 330 white Lexus does NOT have this paint mis-match problem. Lexus quality control is slipping in this area.

had my sfp bumper painted, my painter had to shoot a little on the fenders to "blend"
without blending it's really difficult to match. plus, plastic and metal ends up differently even with same color paint.
