Let each coat dry for 24-48 hours... it will take some time, but I don't think you'll even notice it afterward... you'll have to use a little polishing compound such as Meguiars 105 with a MF towel.. and just do a little, wipe it off, back and forth until it's shiny again.

I don't think you can really "match" the color because it's just polished aluminum with clearcoat over it. I hope this helps.
That sounds like a good solution, THANKS!!
