matt black paint restore

Hi, Does anyone know how to restore matt black paint after fuel splashes?
I was filling with a funnel from a can and splashed the paintwork on the fuel tank in a few places. It now has marks on it like the fuel maybe attacked the matt finish. Would it work to T-cut it or should I definitely not do that? Any ideas?

Definitely don’t t-cut it!
If you google, caring for matt paint, there’ll be loads of info from detailers and the like. This from autoglym,
