458 Colour Match?

A bit of help please guys...
...I've a 2013 458 spider in rosso corsa... I decided to have the rear bumper replaced to the one with the carbon segment.

It's all official ferrari parts and has been repainted at an official ferrari dealership in the UK...

They are telling me they are happy with the colour match - but I am not happy with it... Is it normal for there to be such a variation, or should I tell them to try again!?!

Have a look and I'd really appreciate your thoughs! Thanks!

From the pictures, it seems fine, but I think you need to see it in real life since the tone changes so much with angle.

 

As above, looks fine from the pictures but no substitute for seeing it in the flesh.

 

agreed, can't see a difference in pics you posted.

 

One is bright red, the other is smokey with a dark tint?

 

I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't point it out, but since you did, it does appear from the photo that the bottom panel is slightly more orange/bright than the original panel.

 

Rossi corso should match perfectly..try again

 

100% normal. The paint variation on carbon panels is different than on other materials. Unless you pay attention to it you may never notice, but every Pista has a color variation between the bumper and the car. I never noticed until someone pointed it out to me. (Hard to tell from my photo but here was my old one) If you go see one in person and look for it you will notice and it can’t be unseen once you do Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I had my rocker panels repainted and they match perfectly. my vote is send it back

 

But not Rosso Corsa.

 

Op said it is Rosso corsa

The the metallic paint that Ferrari has r little harder to match

 

Sorry, I was being facetious as your original post refered to it as 'rossi corso'

 

mkraft is exactly correct... the color (shade) will always be different based on what material is being painted... every single new car of any brand shows this shade difference-- plastic, carbon fiber, aluminum, steel, rubber, etc are going to look different than adjacent panels with same color and painting technique.

 

okay thanks everyone
So what I've done is a side by side colour swatch grabbed from the photo...

I guess the question is... if this were your Ferrari would you be happy with such a mis-match between two panels?

From that perspective, not in a 100 years would I accept it.

 

It is extremely difficult (almost impossible) to correctly convey colors from a camera to a computer screen (or vice versa)
Even professional, high end, carefully calibrated monitors costing > $10,000 can have issues from screen to screen
The people reading your post are looking at a picture of a picture with your camera and our screens doing a lot of interpretation in between

That being said, your eye is the best judge
At the end of the day, if your eye spots a difference in real life then the new and old paints do not match and it needs to be fixed
Did they blend TO THE PANEL or did they blend ACROSS THE PANEL?
