I was washing the 4s today. I looked at the engine decklid and it looked like it was a different shade of silver. I tried many different lights. Color is different. Has a slight tone of beige in it. Is it possible to have a car come from the factory with a slightly different colored decklid?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Assuming it is a new car, it is possible that it was damaged and repainted before delivery. If that is the case I would not hesitate to take it to the dealer and have it corrected.
I recently saw a white C4S at the Porsche World Road Show with its decklid appearing a slightly yellowish tinge compared to the rest of its body and had thought that the decklid was resprayed. Having investigated further, I read that the decklid on the C4S (unlike its other 911 brethrens) is made of fibreglass (or some other kind of material). Paint tends to show different shades on different surfaces after a while. This may be the reason.
My mistake, it is my engine decklid that shows the different color. The paint looks the same (texture) it is the color that is off. Is this the part that is made out of some other material?
Yes, I was referring to the engine decklid which houses the rear retractable wing.
Mine is not a different colour but the finish is very slightly different. Alsmost looks like it isn't quite as shiny as it could be. It's still very good though. I wonder if engine heat has anything to do with it.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
