I had a small scratch which was about the size of a pine needle and in fact looked like a pine needle resting on my hood. I bought a stick of paint which was the same color as the hood and it seems to have filled in nicely but the problem is that the paint seems flat and the hood which is white has a shine about it which the paint does not. Its not a big deal but it detracts from perfection so I wondered what I need to do do make it so that even with a careful examination you cant notice the difference.

I dont know if this makes a difference but the paint was labeled Cloud White but the finish is Pearl White.. but the store said this paint was a match for the car..It seems to be the same without the gloss..

Thanks
