Default How To Touch Up Paint - Spray Paint

Here is where we are at . . .
You have recently Painted your Engine or Vehicle Part separate from the
vehicle using Spray Can Paint.
You have now just assembled this part back onto the vehicle and upon assembly a wrench , ratchet, breaker bar , etc. puts a nice ding onto your Painted Parts surface.
What is the best touch-up method ?
1) Mask the total area surrounding the part and Spray Paint the
affected area ?
2) Use Foam tipped Paint brushes sprayed with the same Spray Can ?
3) Dis-assemble the part and touch up paint it separate the vehicle ?

Are their any unique methods of apply Spray Can Paint by brush to
these type of affected area's - especially in tight area's ?
Or in my present case - I have found a part in which I did not
cover it 100 % upon initial Spray ?

Hindsight - Telling me that professional's probably protect the
Painted Part with cloth or other upon assembly ?
