My CW rear bumper is a slightly different color than the rest of the car. Anyone else notice this? I know it’s been seen with the regular models.

Very common on most cars, I believe it’s because different or additional primer is used to paint the plastic parts. My white Si the bumbers and side skirts are a different shade of white.

flex agent is used because plastic is more elastic, also paint cures differently on plastic vs metal surfaces, i also think bumpers are black and no primer is used vs metal surfaces usually a grey primer.

but all cars have this some are just more noticeable

Yep, and most likely sprayed in a different facility than the rest of the car.

Was curious about how many others have it.

Yeah I was curious how common it was on the CW white cars. It's not nearly as bad as some metallic colors I've seen on BMWs.

Definitely noticeable since day 1 on our Pearl White Acura MDX. Not uncommon for the reason listed above.
