Take a brand new razor blade and bend a slight bow in it...
Then holding it between your thumb and index finger lay your ring finger and pinkie on the surface of the car and lightly drag the razor blade against the raised areas of the replaced paint.
- it takes a little time to carefully shave the overfill and level it - then you can hand polish the spot with some fine cut -

I have found that Trying to use sand paper even with a block results in thinning the paint surrounding the touched up area.
