Off shade Paint Job

[dr. d]

have you noticed, the most common complaint regarding paint shade mismatch, involves the plastic bumper versus the rest of the (metal) panels..?

Yep. Even factory paint plastic bumpers are a bit darker than the metal panels. Barely noticeable though.

To undiscerning eyes, there is nothing wrong with the paint

i think konti lang effect ng material. if you think about it, both will be coated with several layers of primer, base coat and clear coat. kaya pwede talagang ma-color match. nasa pintor na lang talaga ang diskarte dyan.

metal + layers of primer, base coat, clear coat
plastic + layers of primer, base coat, clear coat

pwede rin, nasa tolerance level ng owner if acceptable na ung color or not. ibang usapan na lang kung talagang off ang colors.

Yes. You really have to try to see the difference.

In my case, the difference in the shade really "pops". So I'm really keen on having this corrected.

I've asked around din naman, some say that obvious nga ang difference, some say I'm being over OC. It's not that bad nga naman if majority of those who look at it won't see.

Also dropped by big bert's & other detailers sa area ko to get their thoughts on the paint job, ayun nga daw paulit ko na lang.

kaya po nagbabago ang kulay kasi po meron static yung plastic bumper,. nabubulabog po yung pintura lalo na po yung metallic colors gumagalaw po yung metallic kaya nagiiba yung kulay, subukan po nyo ilapit yung braso nyo sa bumper at mararamdaman nyo yung parang gumagalaw yung buhok sa braso, ang dapat gawin ng pintor kapag nakuha na nya yung desired coverage [ opacity ] kailanggan po sya mag 2 mist / drop coat, kailang po edouble yung gun distance para umibabaw yung metallic para di mag dark yung kulay

[Yuki13]

^sir i'll ask them to try adjusting the gun distance next try. ano yung 2 mist / drop coat? I want to give specific instructions na para umayos.
