In fact it matches better than OEM, if you go out and look at your OEM bumpers, the texture doesn't match from the factory and that's another thing that bothered me. I've looked at half a dozen WRB BRZ's and the factory bumpers have a "smoother" texture to them. Now I can say my bumpers match color and texture wise better.
"Impressive".

By the way, here's a good article on orange peel: http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-t...ad-or-correct/
