I cannot see any imperfection. The paint is guaranteed for life of vehicle.
The location of the damage on your car's bumper made it a good candidate for that kind of repair. With the damage being so low on the bumper and with it being below the point where the plane of the bumper changes, any minor color mismatch would be much more difficult to notice than if the repaired area had been higher up on the bumper or near where the bumper meets the front fenders. Had the repair been needed higher up on the bumper and close to one of the fenders, a more complicated repair technique, including possibly blending the new paint into the fenders, might have been needed to end up with a repair that was difficult to detect, and that would especially be true with a pearl white or other multi-stage pearl color.
