what's the problem?

 

very hard to see. you have to see it in person. but trust me, it's there. my wife saw it so its definetly there =)

 

Why didn't u ask the bodyshop to repaint?

 

when i bough the car, dealer had previously painted rear bumper of the car. didnt see it till my freind who has a paint shop saw it. sucks but oh well, painting the car anyways.

 

IP is a very hard color to match for some body shops. i had the body shop try and match it up 3 or 4 times until they got close. i would take it back and that have them try to match it up some. it's a hard color because it's a 3 stage paint. good luck.

 

So, I should ask the body shop to repaint until it's close?

 

I would. I had a white (non-metallic) car back in 1991 that took some damage. The Nissan dealer handed it back to me after replacing the driver-side door skin and front fender with both looking noticeably whiter than the rest of the car. (Sound familiar?) I took it back and had them blend it in. They did. Car looked great after that. I've had three different body people over the years tell me that variants of white and silver are the toughest to match.

Your car gave me flashbacks. It looks exactly as my SE-R did before I told them to fix it.

 

just backed into my daughters car, badly dented rear bumper. is it best to fix and paint these things or replace it?

 

drtech.. which shop did you get it done at?

if you want perfection, give Tommy @ 2020 autobody a call. www.2020autobodytech.com . They repainted my rear bumper due to a slight accident and the paint match is almost perfect on the IP.
