Unhappy awlgrip touch-up

Has anyone ever gotten good results, or seen good results, from touch-ups with dark awlgrip paint on a hull? Even if you can match the color, the problem seems to be that you can't really blend or feather the seams between the old paint and the new paint. Also, the new paint will have a higher gloss. I say 'touch-up'... the boat was beached and the .6 oz re-touch kit from the company will not be sufficient to cover the blemishes. There are two spots, one on either side about 3' X 2'. There is no real damage... this is just cosmetic. From what I gather, the best thing to do is cover the spots with a liquid wax to prevent water damage to the surrounding paint, and wait until the boat can be hauled out and totally repainted. One gentleman who tried major touch-ups with hunter green said that his boat came out looking like a gecko with a skin disease...
