New hood, New Bumper, Paint blended...A good painter can work wonders. That is the key. You would never know this car was done (other than the higher quality clearcoat from the doors forward....
) I have seen this same shop do a Perfect job on my friends Silver 350, but blending was necessary. There is no reason to be afraid of this as long as the color is a VERY close match. Sounds like your guys are having problems there..
