    Above is alright. Personelly a touch up gets taken out of hand with me caus i hate quick fix jobs, if your gonna bother to put time into something do it properly. Either strip the whole area down and start again. If its not big of area theirs probly no point (e.g a scratch in the roof, not worth bare metal spray on roof). Either way if it has rust, strip the area down to bare metal get rid of the rust, most likely will sand away unless its deep, once all rust is removed give it an acid wash (its acid you wipe on with a scower it costs bugger all) then prep wash, primer, paint (use a pressure pack made up to your colour) and a clear. should blend in once you give the whole section or car a cut and polish.
