ANY TIPS FOR SCRATCH REPAIR? I HAVE THE PAINT.

Hello gents, I went to NAPA yesterday and had them brew up some Ext Paint code: FN, Ford Toreador Red paint in a nice little bottle for me. The little bottle has a brush on the cap and is for touch ups.

How do I get the scratches to go away as much as possible?
I took one ding (circular in shape) dobbed a small amount on there, let it dry for a sec, and then buffed it a bit with my shirt, and it COMPLETELY dissapeared. This was all the way down to the metal too.

I haven't had such luck with long scratches though, it seems to leave a streak of different colored paint humped up when I do those. I got one to dissapear, but no dice on the other scratches, looks like crap.

I know I should start VERY thin, and kinda build it up, what else am I doing wrong?

What temp should the paint, vehicle etc be?

Thanks.
