My front bumper looks like abstract art - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm beginning to wonder if the red paint used to paint the bumpers is simply poor quality. First you, then that post from Australia. I saw vten's Yaris at a recent meet, and I was surprised by all the white splotches on the front bumper of his car. My Yaris is meteorite metallic, and the factory paintjob on my car is amazing. I mean, I can count on one hand the number of rock chips on my front bumper, and I do mostly highway driving. The paint on my car holds up extremely well. For example, recently, I was driving along and a rock hit one of my doors real hard. However, there was not a single scratch. There are so many threads on this forum about people complaining about the poor quality of the paint, and I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. Now, I'm beginning to think it's because the supplier can manufacture certain colors well, but apparently they can't get other colors right.
