How it your paint's colour consistency?

My new (now 6 weeks old) Crossroad's rear doors seem to be a slightly different tint than the rest of the vehicle - under fluorescent lights they see to be darker than the rest of the vehicle - this is the tri-coat silver.

I had a close look at a tri-coat pearl vehicle and it seems to have the same difference.

Of course the service manager says that he can't see anything in the service bay - but even in my driveway they are different - enough to almost look as though they have been repainted - but using a thickness gauge it is obvious that this is 'from the factory'.

The dealer has said that if it shows up under the body shop lighting, the remedy is a repaint - and I KNOW that this will just make it worse - been there, done that with a vehicle many years ago.

So I'm wondering if anyone else seeing similar things with their Journeys?

edit: I wish we could edit the titles of these topics - and, for that matter to be able to delete posts we've made.

I wish I could too. My moderator powers are extremely limited. All I can do is move or lock threads...lol

Anyhoo, my paint seems to be consistant

Mine is constantly consistent. You are correct about matching silver. No matter how they try, it can not be done. My last two vehicles were metallic silver.
