Painted plastic bumpers in alot of cases do not match the body exactly, most particularly paint with metal flake (even from the manufacturer). I was told the reason for this is the inclusion of a flexible additive. Plastic bumpers are often painted separately from the body because of this additive.... at least that’s my understanding from talking to body shops...not certain if that’s right or not. Heard that back many years ago.
