Backed into a car today, im a huge idiot

Well as the title says, im a ****head. Anyways i was able to basically fix all the damage, buffed out all the scratchs/scuffs. There are a few small dents which i believe the smart program can fix for free. But i found that there was 3 areas where there was some paint missing, it was a lighter shade of black and i could feel that there was paint missing. Anyways i have a paint pen from my dealership and i put some of that in there. How long does it take to dry, its been about an hour and it is still not the same black as my car is.

My question is how long will it take to dry and how similiar will it look to the rest of my car once the clear coat from the pen is over the paint?

sorry to hear man. most of the time, any type of touch up paint isn't an exact match because the paint on your car has time to fade and whatnot. depending on how bad it is, you may just want to take it to a body shop. I had a bum,per that needed repainting and a local body shop took care of me for $150 and it came out great. good luck with everything

this is why the back-up cam is so vital. sorry, i dont have an answer to your question, but at least it was a car you hit and not some dog or toddler.
