Just because something is the same paint code does not mean it is the same colour. The paint on the car fades a little just from normal weather and when you add something like a fender or bumper the difference can be startling. When body shops change or paint parts they have to blend the new paint into the old so the one section doesn't stand out. If done right the transition will be invisible but if done wrong the change will stand out like crazy.
