Welcome to the world of light metallics. What kind of paint are you using?Did you check the variants?Did you do a sprayout card?Did you do a dropcoat?Solvent or waterborne?
Here a couple of quick fixes,re do the bumper and turn up your air pressure to lighten it,or scuff the fenders and blend color into them and clear.98% of the time bumpers do not match the rest of the car so don’t worry about it 🙂Yea done both variants, did a drop coat, was in water. as for spray out cards yes i did one for the 1st variant i did, but did it two weeks back. funny thing is passanger side looks near on spot on, driver side looks to dark to the rear panel, front is not that bad tbh.
Tint tint tint
i think ur undercoat, like what ur using before ur actual color coat plays a major role in color match

well theres your answer the drivers side rear quarter may well have been repainted at some stage ,either that or your paint has changed colour from one half of the bumper to the other LOL ,your only real option is to blend into the offending quarter or match that quarter and blend back into the bumper
either way its an extra for the customer if his car is already two different colours
