So I ordered a new front bumper and it came like this. Obviously the color of black doesn't match. One seems to be much more warm while the other which is the original color(on the right) seems cooler. What do you guys think? It's only obvious in direct sunlight. Is it because it hasn't been polished yet or because it's new or is it just flat out the wrong color? Also don't mind the pollen all over my car I washed it yesterday and that's just what it looks like today🤦

plastic and metal painted parts usually have a slight color variation. As for how off it can be I would see if you can find another factory one to see if the color is off more on yours or within spec

I'm hoping after I compound and polish/wax it it'll be closer to the other panel. This new paint seems to be more brown. I like the newer paint better as they did two coats of black and two coats of clear so the quality of paint is better but it seems off in the tone or is it the color temperature. I dunno I hate being picky sometimes.
