Default Touch-Up paint problem !

Hey everyone, yesterday I brought my Lexus touch up paint from a local dealership and I think i screwed up patching it.

When I used the "clear bra" the brush colour went from clear to smonky granite mica LOL, is that suppose to happen? did the paint not dry? and when the clear bra dried up,I think it dried up with the paint from the brush...

Should I buy it again and be more careful next time or is there another solution?

I had a body shop check a couple places I'd like to have touched up. He told me straight up, it would look worse if they touched it up.

Got to say I agreed with him after thinking about it. Maybe what you have to have done to get it looking right again

it looks worse as its touched up because the color of the paint wont even match your car, as cars fade in time and change colors slightly. i had filled a rock chip, then sand it to become flush. looks great (:
