My brother has a 2017 Corvette which is silver. A while after he bought it, he noticed that the paint on his front bumper didn't match the hood and fenders very well. Mostly it's the metallics look different. Upon inspecting close it was evident that the bumper had been repainted. There were actually several signs that pointed out that the repair job overall wasn't good. He felt it was too late to go back to the selling dealer. But it has bothered him ever since.
Just today he found a silver bumper for sale on a forum that was taken off a 2016 model because the guy wants to upgrade to a ZR1 style. So my question is how likely is it for the original paint on my brother's car to be a match on this one for sale. Is there a good chance it will or is it a crap shoot????
Here's a photo of the one for sale. The seller says it's in perfect condition and that a 3M clear protector is installed on it. The guy wants $850 and is probably a lot cheaper than him paying a quality shop to re-paint the one that's on my brother's car now.
I try not to bother you guys here with a lot of questions but my brother asked me because I paint my cars. But I have no experience to be answer the question my brother has asked me and I know you guys will have a good idea. I'd really appreciate thoughts here as this may save my brother from making a mistake.
