Should I just make a decal with a cutout for the guide in the center to cover it?
Hey, that is looking pretty good!
First of all, make sure the paint is really dry, completely cured, etc. How long ago did you do this? You should probably wait another month or two... but of course I would never have the patience for that.
But yes, as you suggest, wet sanding, 1500 or 2000 grit paper from pep boys and the like. I'd mask the surrounding area with a thin plastic tape, like strapping tape, for most of the process. When the new paint is down almost to the level of the old, remove the mask and do the polishing compound.
