Scratches on paintwork - pork_pie

I have a 6 month old Ford Fiesta in vision blue and recently there were some small scratches under the crease on the passenger side rear door. I dont know how but its pi**ed me off.

Over the past year i have used a mobile dent/paint repair service and this time I showed this damage to him. He says he won't touch it as he says getting a perfect match would be tough on a new car. I bought some touch up paint which he applied on it plus the accompanied lacquer but it still looks s***e. He has offered to touch it up again and buff it over which is fine just so long as its less visible.

Is a trip to the bodyshop the only way?

If so anywhere good to recommend in the Manchester area?

Repairs done like that will always look rubish, surprised he even attempted it after initially refusing.

Only way to sort it is a body shop visit or one of those mobile touch up specialists. We have a "smart" repair chappy locally who operates out of a small unit and he is always busy mostly with Motability cars that need sorting before the lease ends. He does a brilliant job for much less than a regular body shop.
