To really do it properly though, you need to spend a lot of time sanding (150 grit or higher), then applying in the thinnest possible layers. I mixed a dab of paint with a dab of water, applied layer, let dry, repeat, sand again so there’s no bumps. I succeeded in creating a flush surface but the sanding actually polished the paint so the finish looks shinier in the repaired area than the stock surface. I might go back and try applying with a sponge brush to make it look more matte. Luckily my damaged area is kind of covered by my water bottle when in use so it helps me forget I scratched my frame like an idiot.

For color matching it works great!
