I just got my car out of the paint shop. I'm pretty **** when it comes to this kinda stuff. Bumper and driver's side fender were painted. Can you guys notice a big difference?

Before...




After...


This one was taken in my garage under florescent light.




or ?

By the way.. Chrome grill conversion to come next.

 

Yes there is a distinct color difference there...

 

i see the color difference.

 

the after pic is fine
but i dont think u are showing us the same side of the bumper as that first pic

 

yes its noticeable

 

Here is the side with the new fender.. The hood looks darker. Is it difficult to match is color up?

Here are pics in the sun..

 

It is very difficult to match it up. Has to be blended.

 

Yes I would say there is a difference. Bring it back to then if you still can

 

ah i see the difference now
the top is a bit more creme
doors too

id take it back and see what they can do

 

Remember, that's fresh new paint right next to 8 year old-ish paint.

 

I can see a difference but I agree with sleeper. your paint is 8 years old. Even if it's the same...it's gunna be different

very true but that fender does need to be blended just like CDW91 said, the paint is just too white

 

Yes. Sorry I forgot to add two remedies: 1) Get the paint blended. 2) Repaint the whole vehicle.

 

Sleeper.. Remedy #2.. Not trying to hear that. I've seen too many threads on here where members have gotten there cars fixed and it looks great. This guy needs to blend it better.

 

8yr old paint.. true but I agree that it can be blended better. The guy at the shop agreed with me (after twisting his arm). He is going to blend the hood and the door more (dont know if you can tell but he did blend the door in a little). I told him to wait until I get my TTE lip cause I want him to use the same paint. I ordered it today along with the Daizen springs.
