So I've tried touch up paint...
...on a quite large patch of fairing, and its noticable darker than the normal paint.
I've done 3 coats so far (instructions say several) and its just getting darker! Yes its the right colour by the way  Any idea if this'll sort itself out thru drying and sunlight? |

So I assume you have bought a grand candy blue paint.
Did you use a silver base coat first. and a good lacquer. Also this time of year make sure your environment is dry and warm otherwise the paint will bloom

From memory candy blue dries a bit matt and then lightens and goes shiny with the lacquer.
