How to Touch Up Flat Wall Paint?

Published in Painting Tips 1 min read

To touch up flat wall paint, the key is to blend the new paint seamlessly with the old by feathering the edges of the touch-up area.

Here's a simplified approach based on the provided (limited) information:

  1. Prepare your brush: Use a brush appropriate for the size of the touch-up area.

  2. Dip sparingly: Dip the brush lightly into the paint. Avoid overloading the brush.

  3. Apply and Blend: Apply the paint to the damaged area. The goal is to blend it in with the surrounding paint as quickly as possible. This likely involves feathering the edges, which means applying less and less paint as you move outward from the center of the touch-up area to avoid a noticeable hard line.

Essentially, the touch-up process should focus on even application and proper blending to avoid distinct patches or edges that highlight the touched-up spots.
