I've heard that color matching with oil based paints is nearly
impossible
because the fade rapidly.

I did some touch ups with both flat and semi-gloss on interior walls
that
was painted 18 months ago. The paint were from the same cans that
were used
on the existing walls so you can't get a better match. The flat
touch up
didn't look too bad but the semi-gloss looks like a bad touch up
job. The
touch up the semi-gloss is glossier than the rest of the wall when
viewed at
different angles. I ended up painting the whole room due to a couple
of bad
touch up spots. Any tricks in matching with the existing paint?
