whenever u get a car painted

If the body shop does a good job you won't be able to tell that the car was painted because they will blend the paint. If you mean painting just one piece of the car like just the bumper then matching the color to the rest of the car will be very difficult. I've had a car painted and also just my bumper alone. I've never had to go back because of paint problems. I hope you didn't take it to macco.

Normally, you will have some small imperfections. Over the last 25 years, I probably have at least 10 body shop experiences. Until I found the current shop that I use, the cars always had to go back for something to be fixed after the initial fixing. Paint imperfections, other than color match, can usually be wetsanded out.
