How is this paint job?

sorry to bother you again with my trouble, but I would appreciate your thoughts and advice on this paint jib of front bumper.

I think I can notice a slight mismatch? More pics under direct sunlight?

Its off. But, unless you painted the bumper and the fender at the same time, it will never match perfectly. The flake will be off, the color will be off, the shading will be off. But I would take that one back and get it closer

I feel like the more I look at it the more I notice the bumper being darker

maybe if it was a fresh paint job it will fade over time under the sun to match the rest of the car?

The bumper appears more blue, and there is more orange peel.
