Default paint matching

Got bumped in the rear bumper a while back and the car is now at the dealer (dealer has a large body shop) getting a new rear bumper. My question is, the car is Silverstone, I have seen so many cars where there is a panel or door that looks so abviously painted. Like many shades off. I'm hoping that I should not have a problem considering the car is fairly new (no paint fade) and the dealer should know how to match Nissan/Infiniti paint. What do you guys think? Seems like those with aftermarket kits have been happy with the match their bodyshops have done, but then tell me why I see so many late model cars that have been so obviously painted on a panel or two?

the paints dont respond the same from plastic to metal. if they put a few coats of primer it should help. the actual paint matching shouldnt be a problem, as the car is so new.

depending on the kind of paint it also depends on the technician that is painting your car. If the guy don't have lots of experience he my not know how to control the way the paint sprays on even if the paint itself has matching codes..
