Changing colors

[PAULIE B]

Bought my 2002 C5 in December of 2010. It is white . I noticed the color is changing. What I mean is... when you really take a good look at the car it looks as if the car it is two tone. The doors are more white than the rear end or the front end. Is there any thing I can do for this? Or do I have to live with it? I really like white all my others cars and trux are white, I've never seen this before!!! When I am at the cars shows and other vettes are there it doesn't stand out as much as colored ones. Is it my imagination or what.:confused

With the front end and rear end made out of a differnt material that the rest of the car, that's just "the nature of the beast"!

How bad does it actually look? My red 2002 C5 was looking pretty dark up front and in the back (it literally looked like a different color), turns out it was just in need of a good scrub. Mine was probably brake dust up front and smoked in the rear, the sprayer didn't do anything. If you haven't actually scrubbed it, try that (sounds stupid I know). Do you have a pic?

I will send over a pic. Scrub it with what? Yesterday I went to a performance shop and asked them what the deal with was and how to correct it. He had no ideaad. Said bring it to a body
shop maybe they could repaint it. Maybe it was painted separately from the other parts at the GM plant. Don't know.

I just scrubbed it with the foaming brush. I sprayed the brush with the power wash first to make sure there was no debris that could scratch the paint... I had taken it to a car wash and only sprayed it a few times right before this, the brush was the only thing that worked. I'm not saying this is for sure the problem, but it's worth trying if it looks like it just might be smoked up or something... I just did this last night and then waxed her with Mothers clay bar wax and now I'm getting compliments on how good the paint works.
