Mis-matched paint? - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just saw some pic's of a recently delivered IOM car and the front fascia paint was noticeably different and IMO unacceptable... how many delivered cars are coming through like this....and why?

I am hoping for delivery in the next couple weeks and would not be able to live with it like that.

qbert48 · 05-16-2009, 02:00 PM

or at least spill it on where said pics are

The front fascias are painted at the manufacturer and then shipped. They are also plastic and yes the surface finish plus material difference plus paint batch is hard to match perfectly. I can see suttle differences with mine. My son is a body man so that was the first inspection. lol

I think its just the flash showing, but ive seen pics and yes it does look like its mismatched

Nope... they said it's very noticeable in person.

They need to change the painting process then!!

The SIM I looked at matched perfectly. There have been others on here that have also noticed the mismatch of the IOM fascia, and pics too. I suppose it's something you have to take up with your dealer if yours comes through that way. It's a matter of the paint being over plastic versus metal, and Chevy is not the only manufacturer to have this problem.

I checked my SIM...... after seeing the other photos on another thread... My baby is all matched up....

Someone else showed a RJT car that was pretty bad, I'd imagine the SIM cars would probably be the easiest color to hide the difference.

It does not matter what the materials are made of, where there made,when there made, etc.......... THEY SHOULD MATCH. This is not the 70's . Any mismatch is unacceptable.
