short answer: painting more than what needs to be painted and adjusting the color match to make the transition from a newly painted part to original paint less noticeable, an example would be if you were to repair something like a quarter panel and you spray the entire area including the arch that goes over the doors, otherwise trying to perfectly match original color is damn near impossible, think of it as camoflauging the new paint next to the old.
