Seek through ya local collision/body shops.
Ask them if you can check out paint match jobs.
Look under the sun if you can, NOT inside the shop.
Just because one painter can spray good don't mean he can paint match.
You better off taking it to the shop.

there's no way to fade the paint, and there's no real point in blending for a bumper. you should try to buff the surrounding panels to match the fresh paint.
