Is a repainted hood as good as the factory paint

I recently purchased a relatively new demo vehicle from KIA. When I took delivery the car had about 3 chips on the hood about 2mm in diameter. I complained to the dealer and they offered to repaint the hood.

My question is, will the paint quality of the dealers work be as good as the original factory paint job? I know the factory paint is baked on after it's sprayed, but I doubt the dealer will do the same? What if the finish is not baked on....will it be likely to flake off or rust in the future?

Thanks,
