Need Advice from Paint Experts

Greetings!

As a teen, I used to work with a guy doing full resto's on 50's Thunderbirds, but over that time, never worked with metallic paints. My Boxster is Ocean Jade Metallic, and I have a small scratch on the poly bumper that I'd like to repair. I've attempted the repair 3 times, and every time the end result is a silver fill.

I'm using the Porsche touch-up paint, and I've tried the Langka system, wet sanding/polishing, and the "card swipe" method, and all 3 have yielded the same end result. Is this a case where I have to somehow fill the scratch and level it as best I can while skipping the final step? Problem is, the repair looks pretty bad if I don't level and polish it. I'm puzzled.
