for me, i would just drop off the rear bumper if it is an oem piece, or you have already test fitted it to ensure proper fitment. especially a black. id be more worried about the fitment in your case.
now for my silver, these colors are hard to match. i would have to let the bodyshop mix and match.

My Nismo front bumper conversion was obviously painted separately from my car with no blending, and you can't tell the difference. My car is Gun Metallic which has a ton of metal flake in it.
It should really be no problem if the painter is any good.
