But it has to be mixed, and then the humidity changes color (I ran a body shop and went to school for body work) if you get a line from the paint on a bumper it was applied too heavy. Peeling clear is from bad prep, or incompatible products used (I did the recalls for GM and Chrysler on peeling clear coats) yes it should match, but I have seen it not match, and the bumper being so flexible it will crack while putting it back on (I loosen the bolts if the gaps are real tight)
