I would not blend the whole front end just for a perfect color match. The body shop should be able to get it very close to the point were a untrained eye will never notice it. Cars out of the factory dont match perfectly. Bumpers are sprayed at different times then the rest of the body in factories.. door handles, bumpers, side molding etc they all dont match. look at audi a4 front and rear bumpers. Its two-tone!!! I know all this because i own a bodyshop. I use the best paint and the best spraybooth on the market. From that point its all up to the painter.

Here is a picture.

This is a picture just before sunset, when it is the most obvious. The picture is untouched. In direct sunlight, it looks great. As you can see though, in darker or overcast skies, the bumper is clearly lighter than the body. (I just washed the car so those are water drops on the body)





There are also variations on the OEM rear bumper and kick plates, but it is not nearly as obvious.
