Totally agree. On IP, you might as well use White Out. The "touch up" paint make your original paint look dull and dirty. Don't use it.

whichever method you use, you are going to need to use a machine buffer to bring the shine back out . being that you have let the paint harden for a month, it will be a bit more difficult to get off. you can either use laquer thinner, nail polish remover, or 2000 grit wetsand paper w/spongeblock. be very careful with this because you can do permanent damage if you break through the clearcoat. all three will haze the paint and will need to be machine buffed.
