Sounds like you are describing "onion skinning", the way I avoid it is spray the surrounding area with water first, that seems to soften or reactivate the existing topcoat, then when you touch up it's more like fresh over fresh so there should be no blending in problems when sanding.
Now that right there belongs in tips of the trade. :thumbsup:
