Hiding a touch-up

I prepared and primed a model with Plasti-Kote, after which I painted it with Dupli-Color blue (3 mist coats and 2 wet coats). Afterwards, I cleared it with a Krylon gloss coat. There was some orange peel from the paint, so I sanded the model with 3200+ grit micro-mesh sandpaper. However, I ran through the color coat at some spots. I tried decanting some color paint to hand brush the white spots, but now it seems pretty obvious that the spot was touched-up. Is there any way to touch-up the mistake so it will be almost unspottable. I don't have access to an airbrush. I was thinking of maybe removing the clear somehow and recoating with some more paint straight from the can?

 

Thank you for your help,

Frank
