Default Touch up Paint 2007 Gold

Has anyone had any luck getting a Touch Up Paint that actually matches their paint color? I have bought Touch Up Paint from Lexus & Toyota (and Honda in the past) and NONE of them has ever come close to the paint color, even the original paint color when it was brand new.

What is up with that and what have you done for touch ups?

Thanks.

Go to an auto paint distributor who has a paint camera . They take a picture of the paint and it converts into a mix set of numbers. It matches the paint today after the years of wear.
