OEM Spoiler...Will the paint fade?

I just got an oem spoiler on ebay...painted the color code is WV2 (Diamond Graphite). The color is a little off.....the spoiler looks like it has a darker shade. I got a 06 so i had 2 years of fade. Anyone know if the color of the spolier would fade after a while? Thanks.

Unhappy QX1 Paint Off

I also got a spoiler from Ebay and mine is supposed to be Ivory Pearl. However, the spoiler is pretty different than the rest of the car. The car is 5 years old, and is darker than the spoiler. Spoiler is bright white (with pearl in it). Shall I also go ahead and put it on and wait for it to get darker? Will it work?

Thanks!

Its probably better to go to a local body shop and have them colormatch it for you. I know IP is hard to match.

..

I guess mine is way too noticeable.. Also, I am not willing to spend anymore on the spoiler aspect. The primary reason why I was going to get it was because one of the LEDs on the 3rd brake light (inside the window) was burnt and I heard it would be very hard to reach at and fix (Apparently it wasn't the case). Anyhow, I wrote back to the guy and said I wanted to return it.. If not, I might sell it here I guess..
Thanks for the help people!
