You're a huge help man. Always impressive seeing how much raw skill is involved with something anyone can do, and only some can do greatly.

That’s EXACTLY how I was taught to do touch ups & to never do brush strokes like many “pros” do! Great tip from a REAL professional! Thanks

This sir, was the answer to the question I had after years of doing touch-ups, going to HD for custom matches based on samples which rarely worked out. Have had an account with Sherwin-Williams who tries better, but still often takes several iterations to get it somewhere close. With all these frustrations on my belt, I had asked them: How do professionals do it? None of them replied and here you are now telling me what I suspected: Repaint the complete wall - edge to edge and charge for that. Thank you, Chris!

Thanks for your view,I found the same lack of help. It's been a great video.cheers

Friendly Tip! Great advice Chris! If I can ad something to this is I always use the same tools to touch up! Example, if you painted the walls with a roller, use the same roller. Feather it out. If you used a paint brush, use a paint brush. I also carry artist brushes for very delicate touch ups! When you are using spackling for small repairs, always keep it to the size of the repair. when filling. Ex, don't use a 4'' putty knife to fill in a nail pop! Always nice to tune into your professional videos. The gooseneck guy! Cheers!

Thanks as always, a true professional. I consider myself a decent DIY painter, then I realize I am doing all the wrong methods you described, but not the next time!

“Daub it up” sounds like a dance move.

I've got touch ups to do on Tuesday so this video is perfect timing, thank you!!

I have been painting from the age of 14 and I just learned something new! Thanks 🙏 MC CONTRACTOR..

God damn.. I could watch this over and over

Thanks so much for all your videos they really help out

This is very helpful in understanding why my paint is drying lighter.many thanks

Nice explanation, but I wanted to see how it looked after an hour.

Awesome advice, thank you

Glad to help

Awesome content

I can’t tell for certain but some of those scuff marks look like they would come out with a magic eraser and it shouldn’t damage or lighten the existing paint at all when done gently.

Idaho Painter, still what a boss.

daub and dry feather, thanks.

Chris dood, you got balls doing videos an hour before your daughter’s wedding reception. But congrats to you, Lisa and the newly married couple!!!

As a painter of over 20 years, touchups can be one of the most tricky parts of our industry. In the past I have used colorant kits and tinted paint by eye at the job. I generally bring a sample into my local store, after they get it as close as they can, I make small adjustments at the job. You can also buy one gallon of paint that is more shiny and a second one (generally the same brand and type) that is less shiny, mix the two until you get it just right. Unless the house is in nearly perfect condition, its usually not worth trying to touch it up. Especially if there are a lot of different colors and sheens throughout the house.

Thanks Chris, I remembered asking this question a few weeks ago,however,what if the portion of the wall was a bit larger? Let's say 4 inches by 4 inches

So I can feather it out on spackle too? I need to fill small holes in my walls

So I myself tried to touch up a few spots. I used spackle. Then painted the couple spots and now from the side they are super shiny like you spoke about. What can I do now to fix that. I have the right color of paint but wrong sheen. Can I dab over it with flat paint the same color that has less sheen. Or sand it with a certain grit then dab with flat paint. What do you suggest without re painting the whole wall. It’s a couple small 3x3 spots that from straight ahead look great: from the side super shiny. Please some advice on how to easily fix this the right way . Thanks

I just painted my whole room perfect. Finish electrical happened and they made new holes. I just patched them up and have to sand and paint those patches. Is it worth priming? I just want to hit with two coats of paint and move on. At the end of a long project.

Just repaint the wall!

There are many reasons why touching up is preferable to re-painting an entire wall. This video is helpful to those of us for whom touching up makes sense.

Repaint the white wall for those small spots? That’s just stupid

Chris I notice you always wear gloves. What gloves do you use? Thanks man!

What about a spackle repair flashing through?

How would you re-roll the entire wall and not see a color difference near the ceiling and the baseboards if you didn't mask off and rolled it quickly? Wouldn't that not blend with the faded tops & bottoms?

Does the brush dabbing technique also work on smooth (non-textured) walls? We painted a month ago and now have some marks from moving furniture etc.

Yes just don't clump the paint on too thick

Use a mini mini roller .

I am trying to touch up my wall with the original paint, but it is adhering to the wall, I can still see the area after it dries

Thought you were John Cena in the thumbnail

hi I had the same paint now the touchups are glossier any way to dull down the glossyiness

How much should I charge to touch up someone else's work

Dob ? ? Or dab

What if the walls are smooth to do touch ups how do i do it?

Should be the same process. The dobing the brush eliminates brush strokes.

Same process as long as you don't clump the paint on too thick everything should be good
