hey i was wondering if anyone knew if the paint would fade differently if i had the hood, quarter panel, and bumper repainted. i don't want the paint to be different colors in like 4 years if i do get this done. so if anyone could help me i would really appriciate it.

The paint begins to fade as soon as the car leaves the factory & sits out in the sun. . . It wont be an exact color match, close but not exact. Yes the paint will fade differently since some paint is "new" & the other is old. Will you be able to see a difference? Only under correct lighting conditions & should be hardly noticeable, but yet still there.

If its done right & not cheap, it should look good for yrs to come. Nothing beats a full paint job

would it be good if the local honda dealership did the paint job?

If they have a body shop, sure they can do a decent job.
