    I searched this but quite frankly couldn't figure out the right phrase to search on. I see a noticeable difference in the color/hue of the paint on my flares and mirror covers. After having it paint corrected, it is still there. I don't see it on the bumpers.

    Has anyone found a product or procedure to improve the color match?

    Since you seem to have the paint properly conditioned, a repaint of those bits is the only answer I'm aware of.

    Yeah, that's what I figured, and quite frankly, it probably isn't worth it. Nobody else has said anything, I just noticed it when I waxed it.
