I wasn't even rear ended. My car came with a slightly more yellow front/rear bumper.

You don't notice it since it's fading uniformly.

[QUOTE=kenchan;2249359]hummm... my dd sits out 24/7 and paint has not 'faded' at all...[/Q
not faded until you try and match or repaint a panel !!! All paint fades, with time. |

I have a 40th Z so the bumper is like gun metal grey with a hint purple to it.
The paint itself looks like a match but the whole bumper is like tinted by the clear coat. Will polishing the car make the difference less obvious? |

Every car in the world fades if its outside 24/7.....u just can't tell cause your whole car has slightly faded. UV rays cause fading. If she's in the sun, she's a fading away slowly.

I just dropped off my Z this morning at the local Nissan body shop to have the crease in my rear bumper repaired after I was rear ended a few weeks ago. I hope to god that they do a good job matching it.
The insurance company fixed me up with a Chevy Cruze as a rental. That thing is gutless ! I miss my Z already, that Cruze feels like it couldn't get out of it's own way if I were trying to merge on to the freeway with an 18 wheeler bearing down behind me. |
