As a matter of fact, some of the pictures I've seen on here of the white pearl paint appear that the bumper covers (front & rear) don't match the body perfectly right from the factory and part of that is because the flexible bumpers have an additive in the paint to allow flexibility and they are prepped for paint differently and are not painted while installed on the car.

With the Whiteout paint this is ABSOLUTELY the case... (color matching the body)... I have a Subaru Legacy in the exact same white... after a year, the bumpers are yellowed at a different rate as the rest of the car. Just my observation...
