Touch-Up Paint Advice?

Some clown dinged my door over the weekend. Must have swung it fully open, because it left a scratch ~ 2mm wide 1 inch long on my rear quarter panel.

I'm going to have a "paintless dent removal" done in the morning, but am still up in arms about what to for the paint. The scratch broke the surface, so I will need to be able to build up a layer to match the rest of the panel. I've read that the BMW touch up paint is of poor quality in both consistency/ease of use and in matching the original color.

I also read about Dr. Colorchip, but that sounds like it's more for very small nicks. It does sound easy to work with and able to build layers, but also read that even with proper prep, the product wears away? Would like to hear feedback on this product if anyone has used it before.

Color is Estoril Blue II (Believe this is paint code B45)
