Poor Touch Up Paint. Help!

So my car has a couple of tiny spots where the previous owner applied touch-up paint to. The paint barely looks like it is the same color and stands out like a sore thumb. It is also raised over the paint so it looks even worse. My car is a 28 year old 930 and I really want these gone as the car is pretty impeccable.

I was going to wet sand the spots, then compound, then polish, then wax. Problem is that i think the spots will still be visible since the colors don't match 100%.

Any suggestions on how to completely remove the touch up paint so I can start new or should I just use this method, see the results, and then decide? Is there a chance the touch-up paint will be harder than the stock paint as there is no clearcoat and I will go below the stock paint?
