In need of paintwork

Someone gracious ass decided to smack my rear bumper this week and the front of my car including the bumper and hood are starting to show the miles I do on the highway. I am thinking about getting them painted but I am concerned about getting a good paint match. My car is a 2015 in the dark grey color (Modern steel metallic) and I know silvers are really hard but perhaps this darker color is better.

Any thoughts on how to research a good paint shop that can get a good match would be appreciated.

Any decent body shop will match and blend your paint. Ask around and ask people you know where they have gone for body repairs and where they recommend. Google reviews in your area.

Thank you!

Spent some time searching and came up with a few shops that have very good reviews. I will go there. I have seen so many mismatched paint jobs I am always leery about that.
