  • I've finally got round to patching the holes in my knackered wall and now need to try and paint it to blend into the existing wall. I know it's not going to be perfect but I'd like it to not be too obvious.

    I've got some colour matched paint that looks pretty similar. My problem is how to apply it without it looking obvious. Walls have either been rollered or sprayed so have quite a flat finish which I don't think I can match with a brush. I could use a little roller but some of the patches that need covering are pretty small compared to a roller. Are these little paint pad things any good? Any other suggestions, cheers?

  • Dab it on with the tip of a brush. Sash brush is quite useful too, roll the whole wall with a 4 or 6 inch roller can be quicker with better results than trying to touch it up with new paint anyway.

  • Cheers, I'll have a look at sash brushes. Unfortunately it's the hallway at the bottom of the stairs so it's a big, awkward wall.
