i painted my rear bumper and kick plates, grey primer and then loads of top coats the paint then had a brown tint to it against the rest of the car. also one of the rear wings has the same brown tint but i didnt paint it.

If using spray cans make sure you shake them for ages otherwise the paint may not be thoroughly mixed and the colour will not be correct.

There are also hundreds of shades of black, so unless it was the correct code it might never match. Even celly suppliers have problems mixing correct colours, as due to the low demand, the tinters used in creating the exact colour might well not be available, so a nearest too has to be used.

the cars been sprayed at least once in its life so i dont know if its the same black. looks like someone has had the same problem in the past as the back wing has a patch of brown tint to it
