My '12 IBM is the exact same way, and it sure better be covered under warranty. Just a pain in the ass that we have to mess around getting this fixed.
That bulletin is for a perceived mismatch in the doors/quarters because of their angle to each other. This bumper fascia issue is an actual paint mismatch - very different issue. On the IBM it is way off if you look at it in the bright sun. The fascias have a different metallic, and are a lighter shade. The metallic that is in the body paint really pops and sparkles in the light, which is what the Xirallic metallic does. The fascia's metallic is completely different, seems like just the standard fine metallic, and not Xirallic. I'd bet the fascias use a different type of metallic, and the shade of blue is off also.
Why the fascia supplier can't match the paint any better in 3 model years is amazing. I've seen paint repairs on IBM where the first spray out is a perfect match.
