So what you're saying is it looks like rear end

Yes. I also had the shop install a used bumper cover, because I'm not spending $500 on a new bumper cover, and the gap between the hood and the bumper is uneven.

How different is it? Paint on bumpers is almost always a little off, even from the factory.

A lot of paint places now show people the difference before they paint, so they can see that it was like that originally, it's not an error on the painter's part when re-done.

it sucks that your paint is not right, that is something that would bother me too. Is the bumper fit something you can fix youself? I gather with some adjustment/shimming you can fix minor issues on most cars. However if you've paid them to get it right or if it's an insurance job you should complain

I posted about it in the stupid questions thread since I just realized that it's really irritating me and hey maybe there's something I can do about it.

What color was the used cover? I've had issues where a shop did not bother priming (or sanding, just scotchbrite) the used bumper and the paint was slightly off.

No clue. But they did prime and sand the cover, I've seen them do it.
