Absolutely yes, paints will look different depending on the substrate. The difference should be / is noticeable to a trained/staring eye but usually not so to casual observer. In my experience (years ago worked in a body shop), one of the best ways to see if a car has been painted is to look at it under both natural sunlight but more importantly under florescent lights. This is also the reason why when you have body work done on cars, the shops will blend the repainted area into an adjacent panel to help hide the re-work - or make it less obvious.

Take a close look at your rear bumper vs the paint on the fenders and I'm sure you'll see a difference there too. If it's much more noticeable on the front than rear, you might want to either have them blend it into the fenders/hood or have them re-do.
