Re-painting versus touch-up... does paint matching work?

I have over 45 units now and every time a vacancy comes up, the property managers want to repaint the entire unit even though 99% of the paint looks great in a lot of cases.  This is obviously eating into cash flow!  

They tell me that touching up paint doesn't work because paint matching never works and even if you have the same exact paint brand and color, it won't look the same.  

What's your experience... do you typically touch up paint?  Do you have success with paint matching and any lessons learned in this area?  #askbp  Appreciate your help!  Losing 3 months rent due to repainting is not something I'm a fan of.
