The original factory paint code is only a starting point for trying to match. I had a fender repainted on 10 year old car and the body shop used a "factory code." I picked it up at lunch time and didn't notice it the mismatch until I got it out of the direct sun. I had three people comment on the poor match on the way home from work. Metal flake can make it really tough to match if they don't fade into adjacent panels. Edit: It might be worthwhile to fix the bumps yourself and then have the whole thing given a new coat if there is a local chain offering deals ($299?).
