Many years ago on my 911SC I had a shop repair the lower windshield corners that had a couple small rust spots. The match and blend was perfect and it was hard to tell where the new and old paint met. The above area on the fender is a little bit bigger area but far smaller than doing the whole fender.
You can use blending thinners for this and it won't fail.

If it's the front fender I'd base color the repair area then clear the whole fender. And polish the side (or rest of) of the car so the shine all looks the same.
