Or sand it smooth and start painting with Rustoleum and a foam roller.
Again, would not be any worse than a worn out paint job or a really
cheap respray paint job. If you don't thin the paint enough, you end up
with what looks like orange peel on a spray job. Thinning requires more
coats and more care to avoid runs.
I have painted a couple of things using that method and they did not
turn out too bad. One was an 80 gallon compressor tank painted bright
orange like the newer deVillbis sp?) compressors. I had an old one
with the green tank and decided I should upgrade the tank before it blew
me into another time zone. Bought a new one that was in primer and
painted it orange. Must be 20 years back and it still looks good. Of
course, it spends all of its time inside so no sunlight fading. My son
has that compressor now. Also painted the upper part of the hull on a
Lund aluminum boat red. Not sure how well it has stood up as we sold
that boat after a couple of years and thus no longer see it. Painted a
boat trailer red a couple of years back too. Might be fading a little
but I am not too concerned given it is a boat trailer.

the kids would deem you sick.

What would you have to lose by touching up the spot? Might prevent spread?

Clear coat is a scourge. There’s no fix short of a repaint.
The SL500 has a dime sized spot on the hardtop roof in the clear that is
starting to spread. I’m ignoring it. Worst case, I take the top to a small
local shop all stripped down and have them paint it.
