Another issue is that touch-up paint is usually single-stage ( all-in-one) paint, whereas the body is two-stage paint ( basecoat/clearcoat). Touch-up paints oft times do not 'perfectly' match the existing body paint, and it's even more pronounced in metallic finishes because it's necessary to match the flake size. So, a freshly painted fender or other body part may not properly match the existing paint color/hue. Note that over time and exposure to the sun and other elements the actual color of your car's body may fade.
