One would think that paint color issue could have been fixed already since Dec if it was just a bad batch. I'm not familiar with painting, is there such a thing as the painting process altering the color of the paint even if the paint is from the same batch? Is it possible that the machine that painted the bumper is mismatched to the machine that painted the fender?
As there is two that have reported 98xx we maybe have a higher but we don’t know for sure until someone mention it.
I don't know how it works, but someone scraped the side of my wife's white Optima about 5 years ago and after the body shop fixed it, we got it back and the white looked just slightly different after it cured. Had to take it back and the next time you couldn't tell it had ever been fixed. He said that happens with some of the white paint sometimes, so who knows how common it is.
I'm with you. Black, aero, EAP. Config 2/4. No VIN. Black has not had a run since the 4000s, it seems.
Can we get more specs? I.e. location/ color etc..it would be interesting if they start assigning VINs in california
My worry that Multi-coat Red would also be hard to match is partly the reason I've decided to get a full wrap.
Yes there is. Metallics and pearls can be affected by the procedure used in painting. Metallics much more than pearls. The difference you see in the picture is similar to differences found on many Japanese cars. Acura has been especially bad at times. Also, if a flexibilizer is used on the skins, it can cause a color shift. Surprisingly, many people can’t even see the difference.
I got called before VIN assigned. ordered same day as you, same config. no vin
I ordered 2/14 and no VIN also Vegas. Our cars will most likely get on a truck together and I assume get VIN together.
Will be interesting to see which one of us gets their VIN and car first.
