In my experience honda parts do match 1:1 and I don't think they'd waste the effort on maintaining a stock of pre-painted parts if the receiving body shop was going to have to paint it anyway.


Depends how old your car is and how much UV damage the current paint has. New cars match in pretty well, older cars generally need some touch up.


So Honda has got around uv from the sun fading paint?


Nah, they pre-fade them for you.

> I'd like a 1995 Civic bumper, dark blue, with UV Fading to match 10 in-garage years and 10 out, but indirect sunlight. Please.
