Well, the bodyshop called me today about my bumper. They thought that it was going to be completed today......BUT, the paint did not even come close to matching. Thankfully, they are a good shop and are planning to repaint the bumper next week. I am going to pick the car up for the weekend and return it Monday, so if the paint match is that bad then pics will just have to wait.

i had a hood painted, they used the code, painted it off the car, and the match was pretty off.
the second time, i gave them my gas cap, and the match was right on. no blending, and i didn't even have to leave my car at the shop.
good luck, i can't wait to see it.
