Question for White Z Owners

Any of you guys notice a slight shade difference between rear bumper and quarter panels?? I got my car used so I am a little paranoid it was repainted.

Yeah the color is a little off on the ones I've seen. Yellow Z's have the same prob.

White was my second choice of color but I'm glad I don't have to deal with that irregularity, I always thought white was the easiest color to cover up paint chips with.

I do have a strange "spill" looking spot on my rear bumper. I always figured it was from the dealership dripping something on it, as it will not come out. But the shades of white on the nismo I do not see otherwise

I don't have it on my platinum graphite.

all the panels are the same

Our pearl white GT-R has the same problem.

mate told that the color difference has to do with 1. plastic settles different 2. colors like pearl white are supposed to be painted in the same direction and if not there will be color differences because of the way the light reflects on the paint

yeah, mine are off just slightly. my dealer wont do anything, but its ok because the difference, for me at least, is very minor and most people dont even notice. if you look at just about every other car around, even different colors, the bumpers are usually just a smidgen off.
