Default steel or fiberglass?

So i have a 86' ss and im getting a new front end (nose and fenders) as you all know its steel, if i put some parts on that are fiberglass is the paint still gonna match or is it gonna look different? I plan on putting the pieces on than fixing some body work and a little rust than have it all repainted. And is it ok to have the whole front end fiberglass but than the hood stay the original steel hood?

Thanks guys

From what I have seen, the paint will match with NO problem. Keep in mind, the front bumper fascia is not steel and the paint on those matches. I also have an '84 Z28 with an aftermarket fiberglass hood and the paint on it matched the steel parts withut fail. It's all in the prep and the ability to paint.
