    or it could be a damaged and repainted (or damaged and freshly painted) part.

    it's easy to see what body parts have been painted later than the car was painted. look closely...half the cars on a dealer lot have had lot damage, and have been repainted in spots.

    def. could be just from the lighting. If you notice, the angle of the trunk is much different than the angle on the bumper. depending on where the lights coming from it can make the paint look different...especially on metallic paints (all depends on where the light hits the flakes)
