Hi Gary,
A bit hard to tell without photo's. From what you describe it sounds like one bus has just an under coat which is often matt and missed the top gloss coat. While the other bus has both coats of paint giving it the shiny look.

If it's a sun fade, check up under the wheel arches and see if it's the same colour as the outer exposed surfaces. If the unexposed paint colour is the same colour as the exposed surfaces then it's not a sun fade.

Cheers, Steve

Antonin (Diecast) has identified three colours on this model: grey, silver-grey, and silver (here).
