    Don’t even try fixing that with touch up paint (ie little bottle with brush), it’ll look way worse than it does now. Only option is to repaint all or part of the flare either with a rattle can or professionally if you want it to last.

    Dr ColorChip works pretty good at blending in. Not perfect but easy to use. Also some colors work better than others.
