Has anyone with a Performance White Mustang noticed if bumper covers have a slightly yellow tint compared to the rest of the paint? I only have 3000 miles on my 2012 and when I wash it, to my eye, the bumper covers look slightly yellow compared to the metal painted body panels.

 

Stop washing it - problem solved.

Seriously though, I haven't noticed that (of course, I don't have the front OEM bumper covers on it anymore).

 

Yeah mine started to have a slight yellowish tint. Got em repainted and they match 100%

 

they are likely painted at another location, and they are made out of different materials. happens on a ton of new cars.

 

This is a complaint with almost every car, and varies with colors. White cars are common to have the yellow tint on the bumpers. If I remember correctly it has to do with the material, paint used, and lighting.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had a feeling it was due to the different base materials, primers etc. I looked at a Chevy Cruz in the parking lot and it had the same slight difference in color, a Camry was closer to matching.

 

I have noticed this on my 2012 as well. Only seems to show in certain lights. I never notice it in full sun or even on cloudy days. But if i take it to the car wash for its weekly spray down in between my normal hand washes I see in with the fluorescent lights.

 

My 08 looks fine everywhere except on the door sils. Right on the right angle its all yellow.

 

Lighting, shadows, etc. can make a difference as to how your eye perceives a color. I have found that the best way to check for a color match on the bumpers is not to look at them from front or back, but to look at the sides where the bumpers meet the fenders.

 

My hood scoop is a different color than the rest of the hood. Drives me crazy since i noticed it. I try not to look at it any more.
