You're going to have to go to a shop. We use computer matching, or just order the paint directly from the manufacturer, or they tell us what paint to mix. This isn't something you can do yourself for it to come out correctly. You also have to blend the rest of the surrounding body or else it'd look pretty bad

shit, alright. ill see if i can find a shop. thank you
Dealerships will get you small bottles with a brush that matches your paint exact
I've had one for my W202 and it was really nice paint aswell

It's probably too deep a scratch, but have you looked at taking it to a detailer's? It's cheaper than getting it sprayed. Just playing Devil's advocate.

Will work if you don't mind the paint lookinh a little funky when you view it at an angle. The part you painted will look brighter and newer and stand out if viewed from the side. It can work, but if you want it to look good again you'll have to get everything blended nicely. If you're just trying to get rid of hideous scratches without making it look like new again, than that paint will work

What colour?

You're right. I also actually read the OP properly and realised he wants it fixed properly, my mistake
OP, have you tried giving it a good polish with colored polishing resin?

Call your Dealer's parts department and ask if they have matching touch-up paint in stock for your car. Dealers generally do not "stock" touch-up paint. There are also alternative keyed paint repair approaches such as what is in the picture.
