Mismatched Bumper Color?

[dhoogerhyde]

I just purchased a 2019 G80 Sport AWD with 13k miles in Havana Red with this same issue on the front and rear bumper. Didn’t notice it at the dealer where I bought it because of the lighting. Now I can’t unsee it lol, I think it’s still under warranty and I wonder if it would be worth it get it blended to match to the car

I had the exact same car, exact same issue. I agonized for months and decided to not do anything. Factory paint is always better than from a body shop. Also, a greater chance of screwing it up more. I've since sold the car (along with my 370Z cabrio) to CarMax - took advantage of the used car market and cashed in. Not putting out the $$$ to repaint was a good decision and now for the next owner to agonize over . . . I've got more money in my pocket.

I can’t say that I’ll agonize over it. It’s an annoyance at best. Toe for toe. Havana Red is one of the most pretty reds I’ve seen to date in my opinion. I will say, looking at the metallic colors Hyundai released, it seems to be an issue, I had test driven a Mallorca blue, where the bumpers seems slightly off than the rest of the car.
I love the car, the speed, the drive dynamics, the sound system and tech. No one else has noticed besides me and you don’t notice until you get real close. There’s a vinyl wrap shop local to my area, so I may consider getting it vinyl wrapped, as there are some pretty sick red colors they can do.

I tried to find this subject elsewhere, but I didn’t find it, well not as precise as this post. I have a 2022 Stinger in red with the same type of problem. The color looks a lot like the red Genesis G70. I know they are cousins I had a 2018 Stinger and didn’t have this problem.

Now, if I go with my phone light, I see that the 2 bumpers are sparkiling the metallic paint a lot more, like 1000x more. Do you have this also? I would say that’s why they look so different.

I know the difference between metal and plastic, but it’s more in the texture of the paint, like if the bumpers were repainted.
