Doesnt the flexible paint on the bumper makes the shade a tat different than the rest of the body?

Should be a perfect match. The bumper paint uses nothing more than a flex additive.

Go to the dealership, a ford one, they should have it for sure. Ask over that the yellow mustang registry forums, they could prolly help too.

Most automotive paint stores have a camera that they use to match paint.They also can match paint by the numbers.The dealer should also be able to help.

Its probably because they have been smashed up and repaired. Working at a dealership, Ive gotten a good eye on picking this up... You can REALLY tell when looking at an angle when the car is wet.
