Paint touch ups can very depending on the area your touching up, how much area and to where you store your vehicle. Storing your car outside will break down color and when you touch it up with a more solid pigmented paint, you will see the difference. Same goes for the front of the vehicle that faces the elements the harshest. It gets dulled with dirt, sand, road particles (salt up north) and when you touch it up with new paint...well, I think you get the point.
That's generally why paint shops will recommend painting a whole area (say the front bumper) so its less noticeable. There are some people who can touch up areas and you won't even notice a flake of difference...that is not me. If you watch Velocity, the Kindigit Shop has done this a couple times.
It also depends on your color, lighter colors tend to fade less than darker ones. Care of the paint over time makes a difference, mine sees nothing but McGuire's products, other swear by what works for them.

Here's a link to the same question from last week or so also, that might give a little insight to people's satisfaction with a couple options.

Thanks for the reply. Mine lives in the garage or under a shaded carport so its not in the sun too much. By the way I love that show(Bitchin rides). That guy and his crew have the talent.
