    Heres a few tips i have used when blending in rub the area back around the repair using a 1000 -1500 grade paper wet and use a retarder thinners helps the blend in.
    I always use a rust proofing behind the repair otherwise it will come back twice as bad.
    Not a fan of bodgie bog jobs personally i would replace the rusted sections with new metal.
    As for lines in the paint job usually i see that when not enough thinners is used i usually have a 70/30 mix with acrylic paint.
    Or the job is in the sun and 2 hot.
    But if it is acrylic a rub down with a fine grade paper using a block and soapy water afterwards to flatten out the surface then a polish usually brings out a nice finish.
