    black panel repainted slightly different in odd light-any fix?

    here's a picture of my rear quarter panel and door. the quarter panel was repainted, and in strange light conditions, it looks like the quarter panel is more shiny and darker than the oem paint.

    please keep in mind that in sunlight and most light conditions, it is very difficult, if at all, possible to see a difference.

    first, is this normal for aftermarket paint, and second, is there any way to fix it? would a good polish and wax help??

    It could very well be the difference between having one panel more weathered than the other. Even a well cared for panel will not look the same as a new one after 5 or 6 years.

    As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

      thank you very much for the reply!

      i guess i am just not sure if it is normal or not. to be honest, it makes sense that the newer panel will be more 'clear' than the weather panel. i guess i'm just concerned with if there's anything i can do or not, because i don't really like it, but on the other hand, it did take me nearly a year to notice it!
