Default Touch-Up Paint help

Okay i had a dent which was pulled out but it left 5 holes in my door the damage area is about 3.5" X 7" i bondo filler the holes and primed it. I bought touch-up paint from Honda (and it came in a nail polish like container) after i wet sanded the primer, i applied the touch-up paint using the brush that came with the the cap of the touch paint. IT was a pretty hot day and when i applied it on there was just blobs of paint and it was very very uneven and looks Bad.. i guess the paint dried very quick, and the fact that the cap brush is so small makes it worst

heres a picture of it

i am looking for some suggestions? like should i wait for a cold day and use a card to paint it with to make it more even?

should i go to paintstratch.com and buy the spray? or touch-up pen?

to get it repainted is Alot of money because i called macco and they said they would have to paint the whole door to make it even.

so what do you guys suggest?

sand it...rattle can it Its probably because the paints to thick for the brush...do very thin fine coats...not just one very thick coat...then maybe use 2000 grit on each layer coat to make it as smooth as possible...
