Default Touch up paint

I have a few little rock chips and minor scratches in my silver HCHII. I'd like to purchase some touch up paint, but my experience with metallic silver has been that you can never come even close to the original paint color. Except for the tiniest holes, the repair ends up blotchy with the metallic flakes taking on an uneven pattern. Sometimes it ends up darker than surrounding area... sometimes lighter.

Has anyone had success with Honda touch up paint? I've also seen some aftermarket touch up pens which claim to give better results.

Anyone have experience in this area? Thanks!
