Most people do not keep their car clean enough, often enough to notice the paint issues. The one thing that is always glaring to me is how the plastic bumper covers do not match the metal panels color wise. It's 2021 for Goodness sake. Can't they figure out a way to paint different materials and get them to be the same color?
Ha! I recall looking at a new red Corvette on a showroom floor back in the late 90's and the rear bumper was a full 3-4 shades off of the rest of the car!
Bumper covers often don't match. Some do, but many don't, and there's a pretty wide range of how bad the mismatches are when they exist. We take pictures of the mismatch before we have a car repaired, so that when the customer comes to pick up the repaired car and cries that the bumper doesn't match, we can show them that it didn't match before, either.
