Did it go past you base? If i am not mistaken this color requires a creamy base and then a pearl on top. So you might need to get two colors (cream, and pearl) Good luck with the pearl blend. They are a pita.

Might try paintscratch.com. I have bought from them a few times and its a perfect match. Not sure about how it works with the pearl, but if its a stock color maybe they can help you. Just detailed a CTS-V that color last week

touch-up paint in general won't match... the fact that its a three stage paint doesn't help your case... is the scratch through the paint or just in the clearcoat? (can you feel the scratch with your finger nail?)

oh far worse the paint is chipped. i was just trying to find something temporary til i get it repainted. it already has a couple of touch up spots on it when i bought the car and it almost matches perfectly.
