I suck at touch up paint - need tips

[Willtill]

Well, I have the New England white and clear coat paint touch up kit from Triumph, to repair the damage I inflicted on my front fender last year (while mounting my Clearview). Pic of the chips in the paint is below:



What would be the best way to repair this? Should I just get some fine sandpaper, wrap it around a block and carefully sand down the two chips; then brush on the white paint with the applicator brush. Then maybe sand it again when it's dry and then apply clearcoat?

Would I need to sand down the clearcoat touch paint?

What's the best way to "feather in" the touch up paint?

I suck at applying touch up paint; the repair always seems to be very visible when I'm done. Need tips.

Local painter here wanted $350.00 to do it. F-v-ck that. May as well put that money towards a custom paint job....

Carefully blob on the white into the chip hole( clean with spirits, don't sand) let it set then carefully scrape off the overspill around the chip crater with a hard plastic edge. Repeat a couple more times until the level of the new paint closely matches the original surround. Clear coat lightly, once the paint has hardened over a few days.
Or.. get one of those mobile 'chips away' paint guys to do it ( cost)
