Steve,

I have used this system and the paint did not match, I spoke to the company and they end out a slightly lighter one as it might have been my paint had faded from new. No extra charge and really good customer service. The only bit for me is that its a real bug bear to get the paint to lay flat, you always seem to be left with a bump. If you try to get it lower, you end up taking off the paint you have just applied.

I think the system is overrated having used a few supplied by clients...too many variables to guarantee a 'perfect colour match'
I can get a better result using a OE dealer supplied paint stick and the following for application.

I get better result by leaving the blob to dry for a few days to harden then wet sand off using 3000 and then polishing to blend in. I have a little gizmo which has a razor blade in to shave down near to the surface but does require some care.
