How can I improve this touch up paint job?

[Houranis]

Hello,
I had a small chip on my car. I applied basecolor, then few days later, I applied clearcoat. However clearcoat made it look worse. I did wet sanding with 3,000 grit but I think there is not enough basecolor under the clearcoat. How can I make this look better? Should I use rubbing compound or continue sanding until I remove the clearcoat?


Please help.
Thank you

The paint in the chip looks like it's still too high. You need to sand it down level with the surrounding paint. How much experience do you have wet sanding?? In the future Dr Colorchip is a lot easier to use. I can't really tell if the other issue I'm looking at is clear coat smeared across the top of the paint or sanding marks.

If you notice, there is a white spot inside the clear coat. I think this is the metal. I'm trying to remove the clear coat so I can add one more layer of base color.
I have sanded the area multiple times with 3,000 grit but it did not do much. Should I go with 2,000? I don't have much experience with sanding.
The surrounding area is just my fingerprints marks.
