Well, the slightly different color paint theory for metallic paint has been discussed endlessly here, but really, it does seem to boil down to the angle and light. If you didn't know my car was Inferno Orange Metallic, and it was dark outside, would you not think it was a shade of red? I love the orange, but Hugger Orange would have been better in my opinion, but I love the metallic paint. Anyway, not to digress, but angle could be an issue in most cases, but in this particular case, I don't think so. Maybe the base bumper cover does something to the paint when applied to it as opposed to the rest of the body of the car?
