harryjackson Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Hi guys I had my front bumper resprayed in the paint code but it isn't a perfect match. I've been searching the forum and from what I've read there is a few variations to the WV2 Paint code. Anyone with any knowledge on the paint codes let me know please. I have an 03 Z with gunmetal paint (silvers tone) WV2 paint code. VIN says my paint code is WV2 R haven't seen this discussed before.. Some photos of the bumper against the body..

glrnet Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 It is common for paints to look a very slightly different shade when sprayed on plastic as opposed to metal but that does look unusually mis matched. Sorry I can't be more helpful Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 It is up to the garage to "tint" the paint to get a perfect match. I am very surprised that they let the car out with such a colour mismatch. Quote
harryjackson Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Yes I'm very disappointed myself. I've been told to leave it 2 weeks and let the 'air get to it' and see what it's like then, I'm going to guess it will need spraying again as the shade it completely wrong. Thanks for your input guy :-) Quote
