Question regarding rear bumper - raven paint

Hi all.


I did try to search on this, but...I'm apparently bad at searching on here.


Dumb question. Does the rear bumper paint on other Raven cars look a little different than the body? I didn't notice when I test drove it... apparently wasn't looking closely enough or the light was bad, or I was blinded by the fact that I was buying an FR-S after years of wanting one...


The Carfax is clean, says no accidents (or other cosmetic damage) reported. From looking up underneath the rear, I don't see any structural damage/noticeable repair, but I'm guessing it was involved in something regarding the rear bumper being re-painted.



Basically just looks like a little different spray texture than the body. But at the same time, areas with the 86 Pistons on the fender has pretty noticeable orange peel, and I'm pretty sure they haven't been re-painted, so I thought maybe it was just crappy factory paint job. (EDIT: Actually, after looking at it again to take a picture...honestly it looks kind of satin in some light compared to the body. It's not usually that noticeable...but it really does have a less glossy appearance. So I'm going to have to assume it's been re-sprayed...I guess this thread can be closed. LOL.)





Sorry, I'll try to get pictures...unless others say it's normal. Not that it really matters now...I'm just curious.


Also, if this should have gone in Cosmetic Mods or something, please move it.
