paint bonding agent (needed for painting plastic bumpers) underneath top layer (such as "Bulldog" or "Eagleflex") can change the hue of the color, from my understanding.

This /\ and not properly correcting the colour for the "plastic primer".
and/or
Faded paint and painter just sprays oem colour without taking bleaching into consideration. Also different clearcoats have a slight hue to them once settled.

A good paint shop should be able to keep this under control, Maaco however won't.

yeah i suspected that, i brought that up cuz i wanted to see if there's any solution to that lol. cuz i bought my ms bumper new and it's a significantly lighter shade than my overall body, it seems to blend in well with the fenders, but not the hood. so i'm trying to figure out if i shud "repaint" the hood or the bumper, or more like recoat the clearcoat? idk... help!
