"I have painted (and written about painting!) countless walls in countless colors over my years as both a renter and homeowner. And when I say countless, I really mean countless: A typical room in my house may be painted no less than four times over the course of two years. It's even an ongoing joke with friends when they arrive, acting shocked to see the living room is still the same color as the last time they visited."
"Painting touch-ups is probably the most ignored item on my home to-do list, though - mostly because I don't want to pull out a paintbrush and haul a gallon of paint up from the basement just to take care of one tiny spot. That's why I was so intrigued to try out a couple new-to-me hacks for paint touch-ups that DIYers and influencers promised were easier than pulling out a full gallon of paint."
Painting walls provides a fast, affordable way to change a room. Touch-ups often get neglected because retrieving paint supplies for one small spot feels cumbersome. Several quick fixes exist, including a store-bought SlobProof Pen and household tools like a fingertip or cotton swab. Effective touch-ups on textured drywall require applying a small amount of paint to the blemish and feathering outward to blend. Four methods were compared using the same eggshell latex paint on similar scuffs and depths. Some tested options blended very well for small marks; a few simple solutions proved reliable.
