Different color parts and replacement parts?
I bought a 120 size ultimate a few weeks ago, the cowling, landing gear, and cockpit were all a different shade of yellow. Can I return what I have and get the correct color (even though its been used)? I just hate to look at the different colors on my plane (which is beautiful).

How far "off" was it.
In all likelyhood anything you end up receiving will not be an exact match as well.
There always seem to be variations between covering and paint used on the fiberglass parts....

I guess you can't tell if you're standing a few feet away but at close inspection its noticeable.

I wouldn't sweat it then.
I KNOW it's going to eat at you ( it also does to me! ), but you'll practically be the only one who will notice.
I've had the same experience with almost every manufacturer... e.g. my Sig Spacewalker II's cowl and pants are darker than the rest of the plane.
