Nissan touchup paint is OK. I have found that the key to a good match is the choice of a basecoat. I have written several DIY posts here.

I've gotten touchup paint from Paintscratch.com and found it to be exellent quality and good match. Having said that, I haven't bought any touch up for the Z from there but I did get paint for my Stealth, Miata and Caravan. I can't imagine they can't mix the Nissan paint as well as the others.

I end up getting touch up paint from dealership today. The paint actually match very well just to let you guys know. I mix base coat along with clear coat and apply two coats to fix the chip.
