because you did not state if you added a hardener to the touch up I'm guessing you did not ??
if you didn't then you could just use some glasurit reducer and it will wipe right off . just don't get the new finish to wet with reducer for to long .
if you did add a hardener t the touch up then I would try either back blading it off with a razor blade or get some old red lead spot putty .
the putty you would want is a lacquer based product only !
spread a light coat over the area then when it's dry sand it with 1500 or 1200 wet or dry paper .
by spreading a coat of the putty you will not be sanding the new good finish so you will not break thru sanding.
you sand until the drip is gone then to remove the red lead that is left you can wipe it off with lacquer thinner . it will take some wiping but it will come off .
never try any of this on non cured paint you will screw it up to no end if you do . to be sure the finish is cured take your finger nail and push it into the finish if any mark is made from doing so then the finish is not cured yet .
the last two options are risky and you have to know what the hell your doing not to screw things up more .
As I mentioned the touch up paint is from Porsche, so I don't know if that has hardener in it?

I see what you mean about the putty, basically the same idea as masking off the unaffected area w/ painter's tape, right?
