Touch up Paint !! Uh oh.....

Well, I shaved my hamburger (max emblem) off my trunk a few days ago. In the process I chipped some paint off. So I recently bought a small jar of black touch up paint, and some primer. (both liquids). Well, I put on the primer, and it looks blotchy and rough. It isn't smooth. I also had some gashes in my bumper that I filled with primer. I put some black on and it doesnt look too good. This is not good. The primer color is grey! I need some advice! What's yalls experiances with touch up paint ?

Thanks

Buffing might work. I'll get my dad to do that.

I am going back into the garage to attempt a good touch up job.

My chips on my hood now are pock marks from touch up paint. Definitely NOT a good thing. I will not use touch up paint ever again... U-g-l-y!
