Default Touch up paint

I have a 2006 Grey 400h. Paint code 1CO. I have tried the factory touch up and paint from touchup123. None of these match the color.

The area's I touch up are very visible.

I use very small applicators, followed the directions from the kit, used small layers, but

Can't match this color.

Has anybody had success with this?

TIA

In the past the best paint I've gotten was from the Auto Body shop. They gave me extra.
I did get a tiny nick on my door. I had the service dept. at Lexus do the dots of touch up for me. I figured they were more skilled. They gave me the paint and did it for free.

Your Lexus dealer sells touch-up paints and you can find it on www.lexus.com as well. I took advantage of the $25 gift certificate that my local dealer recently sent me to get one free of charge.

Moreover, if it's very visible, you'd have better luck having a body shop redo that part.

Thanks, the touch up was from the dealer.
