After the paint has fully cured take some 2000 grit wet or dry sand paper and wet sand the "bump" smooth with the surface of the paint. The easiest way to do this would be to find a small piece of wood or something to use as a tiny block. I take coffee stirrers and cut it into about a 1" piece. Then cut s small piece of paper to wrap around the block. Don't press to hard, just place enough pressure on the block to sand the bump down. Just don't get in a hury and pay attention and you can block it down with barely sanding the origanal paint surface, which in turn will make it easer to buff . (Always let your paper soak in the water for at least five minutes before use) After you have sanded it down, the area will be small enough that you can buff it by hand with a soft cloth and compound, it will take a couple times with the buffing but if the color is a good match then once you have buffed the shine back you will barely notice it.
