Is the paint quality on the Changan Alsvin’s plastic parts bumpers, side mirrors noticeably different from the metal body?

Many owners note a mismatch in paint tone o r faster fading on plastic parts. Is this due to different painting processes o r materials used?

The paint on the Changan Alsvin’s plastic parts like side mirrors and bumpers is different in both quality and durability from the metal body. These parts are painted separately using different methods and primers, often resulting in a noticeable color mismatch. On close inspection, many owners observe that plastic panels fade faster o r appear slightly off-tone compared to metal surfaces. The paint also peels more easily on these parts because plastic expands and contracts with temperature changes, and if the paint isnt flexible o r well-bonded, it detaches over time, especially under Pakistan’s extreme weather.
