Touch-Up PaintUpdated 2 years ago

Do you sell touch-up paint?

We do sell touch-up paint kits for any of our current 30 paint colors. Unfortunately, we cannot provide touch-up paint for any of our discontinued paint colors. 


How Do I Use Your Touch-Up Paint Kit?

Touching up your painted furniture is a delicate practice that requires patience, but with the following steps, it can be an easy and successful process. 

  • First, use fine grit sandpaper to lightly buff along the area that needs to be touched up, making sure to even out the edges, especially if there is a significant chip in the piece. This process will prep the area so the new paint applied is as smooth as the rest of the finish.
  • Next, you'll want to mix the paint well as the color pigments tend to settle over time. If the paint is too thick, the touch-up area will be uneven with the rest of the piece, so be sure to stir and mix very well. 
  • Lightly apply thin layers of paint to the area that needs to be touched up. Let dry. Apply another layer. Repeat this process until the finish is built up. Cotton rugs offer color and style at a reasonable price.
  • Great for kitchens, children’s rooms, and casual spaces.

For application, we recommend a small watercolor brush on smaller spots or a sponge brush for larger areas. The sponge material will ensure a smooth paint application to get as close as you can to the sprayed finish our professional painters use.
