Yep. Anytime you compare a metal part to a plastic part it will be slightly off especially on white cars. It's pretty normal.

Correct. And as your car get older and gets more sun exposure, it gets worse. Pearl whites are particularly susceptible to this.

I have a white 96 Maxima that sits outside every day and the spoiler (plastic) looks almost like a totally different color now.

Just had my white 09 Corolla rear bumper painted and thought the shade was a bit off. The guy pointed outmy front original front bumper was even worse. So I was like never mind.
