I agree with dsb's assessment.

Clean it up first with car wash shampoo. Dry completely. Use touch-up paint from MB, but use a different fine pointed brush (not the one that came with the touch-up paint). Do it in several sessions/days (let paint dry completely overnight)so you build up layers of paint until it is near level with the OEM paint. Wax the area thereafter.

If you're not satisfied with the appearance, you can have it painted professionally later.
