You sound like you have more experience with wet paint than powder, you can't take a powder and "work it" using the oven to obtain the right color. Give the chip to a powder paint supplier and tell them you need a match, then apply it and cure it according to the spec's on the TDS. There are no reducers, hardeners, or mixing required.
