My new 2004 TL is pearl white, but the paint on the front and rear bumpers and side mirrors is a different shade than the body. I recently looked at other brand new TLs still on the lot in pearl white and they have the same problems.
I have a meeting with the district service manager regarding this problem.
I there anyone out there with this problem and have they been able to resolve it with Accura?
Any ideas?
Thanks

 

You drive an Acura, not an ACCura.

The White Diamond Pearl has always had these complaints, and so do many other off-whites for other manufacturers. The Metal panels, and platic just seem to take and display the paint slightly differently.

 

Ya i work in a body shop and Metal panel and plastic panels just make the paint look a little different from each other especially on white and light colored paints. since the plastic panles are usually black they end up making the color alittle darker. but you need not to worry this problem is a normal process and usually always happens

 

they also have to add flex agent in with the paint for the bumpers, which can further cause the shade to change.

 

yap thats how it works metal and plastic pannels allways different collors
