Blending the adjacent panels to a new or primed part is common practice at almost any reputable body shop, and there are many painters that would refuse to panel paint a fiberglass hood next to the factory painted fenders...
Sure, sometimes it can be done, and only upon close inspection will the difference be noticeable, but I, as a painter, wouldn't want to run the risk of doing all the prep work to paint a hood, have it not match, and then have to prep, mask and blend the fenders... Good luck with it.

My fenders were not blended either but since mine is black and like you non metallic the paint turned out great anyway. I remember many complaining about the amt of "yellow" in the factory color and when they had some work done the white was "whiter" then the rest of the car. Not sure if that was ever worked out for those that had an issue but your stang doesn't appear to have that problem. Looks great!
