Thought I'd chime in to let others know it's not just Whiteout paint owners. The whole color lineup has these problems from the factory. As someone else previously mentioned, it's the differences between surfaces. If you'll notice, the front bumper and rear bumper are different colors than say the fenders, hood, and trunk. I'm speculating because the black color of the ABS plastic possibly?
In either case, whatever body shop you take it to make sure of course they're reputable and do great work but also that they confirm the color code via your VIN#. Case in point for my DGM (which IMHO is much harder to match than Whiteout) has several different blends from factory according to the paint supply store. Some VIN#'s call for more blue, green, etc. so that will have an effect on the overall color hue. In my example, the first paint run (without using the VIN#) the part came out with a very noticeable green hue (when it was supposed to be more purple). The second run, again without using VIN# info, came out with a blue hue. Finally, my body shop friend talked it over with the paint supply store and provided my VIN#. We discovered my VIN# had indeed more purple color added to the mix.
