My wife and I recently got a new 2008 TSX, color Alabaster Silver Metallic. My wife is the primary driver of the car, When we first looked at the car at the dealership it was quite dirty, but I did check it over for scratches and paint chips. It had none. However, I did have to return the car to the selling dealer four times to repeatedly clean the exterior before they finally clayed it to get all of the contaminants off of the finish. I do not want anything else to do with this dealer.

Since getting the car I never looked at the finish very closely until I started to wax it today. The color of the various panels on the car do not match. The front fenders and doors are a noticeably different in color than the rear doors and rear fenders. Also, the hood and trunk panels are slightly different in color than the fenders and the top. How did this car ever pass factory inspection? Has anyone else had a similar problem? How do I contact Honda to complain about this color mismatch?

Thanks for any advice or information that anyone can give me.
