Will a used hood match my paint?

I am buying a OB hood from another user, it should match my car perfectly, right? I'm only asking because I know when you get one part painted they have to blend the surrounding parts.

with OB it should match fine. The colors that need blending (more than others) are the pearlecent colors.

And if there was like a 5 year difference in the hood and your car you might have some UV fade, but again, you should be fine.

+1 since you have black, color match should not be an issue. especially if it is a factory hood that hasnt been repainted.

What about alignment? The hood should fit perfectly, right?
