Unhappy Touch of paint bubbled up to high, need help!!

I washed and waxed my truck today since the weather was in the mid 40s's and sunny, so I took advantage of it.

on the back rear passenger door I noticed about 1/16th tinny little hole where the paint looked like it "popped" out all the way down to the bare metal. (looks like it was a dirt spot that just popped off from dealer paint or something)

so I got my little can of touch up paint and a brush and touched in that spot, but I think I goofed. The touch up paint is a bubble above the paint surface of the rest of the door. It looks horrable, even for just a 16th of an inch hole its an eye sore to anyone who were to look at that spot.

Please tell me how I can sand down this touch up spot so it's smooth to the surface again?

Take it to the body shop and get an estimate.

I would recommend this kit...

Langka Paint Chip Repair Complete Kit....

I bought this and it has been a lifesaver for lots of small nics in my paint on the front bumper. It is not going to work absolutely PERFECT, but it is just about close to it. I am very happy with the results of using it.
