Use short strokes in all directions and fan out into the existing paint as the brush dries to blend your patch. You want to use the least amount of paint possible, a thick layer will always shine, even with flat paint.
+1 on this and the proper mixing of the paint! I think using a small roller is what you'll need to do. If the paint was originally sprayed you'll have a tougher job matching the finish. Best thing to do is to "feather" out the repainted area.
