Rust marks in paint

Good afternoon to all,
Quick question. Exterior of house painted in white Dulux Weathershield Exterior paint. Hanging basket bracket bolts have rusted, and there is now a rust mark running from it, and thus has (most likely) stained the paint. I've tried cleaning it with a pressure washer, but no joy.
Is there any way of cleaning/covering up the stain without having to paint the entire front of the house? As the paint is about 5 years old, its obviously not bright white anymore, and so trying to patch it with new paint would be very obvious. Is there a way I could 'age' new paint to make it look less obvious? Or is there a magical chemical that can reverse time and stop it from happening in the first place..... (last suggestion only slightly tongue in cheek)
Cheers for any advice
