Unhappy Touching up paint scratches on '95 SL500

I have a Smoked Silver '95 SL500 and I have tried to no avail to try and match the two-tone (upper and lower body cladding) color of the car. I have tried the dealer touch-up bottles and ordering quart cans from the local paint store, nothing seems to work. All of the areas I've touched up appear "darker" than the original paint including comparing it to the hardtop which has been stored most of its "life". Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how or where did you get your paint from? I see that Pete Gleither has the same vehicle, have you experienced the same problem? I would appreciate anyones thoughts on this. I have painted and restored two vehicles as a frame-up restore, but I have never had this much of a problem before. Steve
