    Look at the paint on any factory C4 Corvette and with any medium colored paint all the urethane molded components will look a shade or two lighter and duller and no amount of buffing will equalize them with the surrounding paint.


    The bright red paint on my 11-month old Yaris is a shade or two lighter on the bumpers than the metal panels. Easy to see under fluorescent lights, and also with bright sun - really irritates me.

    Re: Does paint on bumpers behave different??

    well I finally finished the front bumper with Menzerna 203s and LC white (along with the front 1/4 panels) and all I can say is WOW!!
    This is my first time using menzerna products, and from the looks of it will probably use these from here on. A couple of + for this particular product
    Doesnt smell
    doesnt dust everywhere
    thicker consistency
    Not to mention that PO 85RD wasnt needed to finish. The 203 polished the paint to pure bliss!!

    I'm one happy detailer
