So... I don’t know what’s wrong with me... but after my car came back from SC visit...
I noticed that my front bumper looked “different” (I was inspecting paint job and noticed scratches on the bumper, but that’s for another time...)
I have noticed that the “finish” of the paint itself (under the top coat) seems to be different, almost not uniform ( like orange peel) and they applied the top coat on top which has smoothened it out... does that make sense?!
This makes the bumper portion look a different colour from the rest of the car.
is yours different too??
Tesla is saying it’s normal because the bumper is plastic and the rest is metal.
I personally think is B**ls**t. I had other cars with painted plastic bumper and you could not see no difference!!
Wouldn’t a thick enough coat of primer make up for the difference in material...?
the paint on the metal part looks very finely milled particles, while the bumper looks “larger” particles...
Is yours similar?
Can you post pics?
Should I insist on the bumper or just let it go?
