Bumper on


I have just had the bumper repainted (attacked by a wheelie bin in the wind) by a paint shop recommended by a detailer based in Gosport. He knows the car, knows Burt and has been following the transformation.

Picked it up yesterday, nice and bright day after the rain and all seems well....... until last night at dusk the bumper looked a lot darker than the rest of the car.

Today at certain angles it is looking darker and also slightly purple in some lights. The painted bumper that MJ had done was never this 'different' and matched the rest of the car perfectly. This one is really rattling my OCD!

What to do?

Could the ceramic coating on the rest of the car be having an effect?

Should I wait until the paint 'hardens' before tackling the paint shop?
