Repainted bumper looks off...

I have a 40th Z so the bumper is like gun metal grey with a hint purple to it.
The paint itself looks like a match but the whole bumper is like tinted by the clear coat.

Will polishing the car make the difference less obvious?

Take it to.Nissan or a respectable shop, they need to "blow" it
Into the hood & fenders

I just dropped off my Z this morning at the local Nissan body shop to have the crease in my rear bumper repaired after I was rear ended a few weeks ago. I hope to god that they do a good job matching it.
The insurance company fixed me up with a Chevy Cruze as a rental. That thing is gutless ! I miss my Z already, that Cruze feels like it couldn't get out of it's own way if I were trying to merge on to the freeway with an 18 wheeler bearing down behind me.
