RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS

Before Touching Up:
• Try cleaning the area first with a soft sponge and mild detergent to remove smudges or dirt that may not require paint.

During Touch-up:
• Use the same batch of paint used for the original job. If that’s not possible, try to mix all leftover cans together.
• Use the same type of applicator (brush, roller or pad) to match the original texture.
• Feather in the edges of the touch-up area using light pressure to blend it into the surrounding surface.
• Touch up under similar lighting and temperature conditions as the original application.
