Stretch,

It is really pretty good. These panels were never meant to match. Matching body to bumper is very hard (look closely at a modern car, and you'll see what I mean), and the technology to do a decent job did not really come about until the early '90's (I was actually a part of that leap in technology.).

The only suggestion is that the panels do look mottled. Look at them closely, and you see the variation in color. Try adjusting the air/paint ratio on the gun. Usually a little wetter (more paint, less air) helps this.
