Bigfoot-sized scuffs? White touch-up paint with a built-in brush

Somebody tracked through the hallway like Bigfoot. Now there are scuffs on the white walls, nicks on the baseboards and a gash on the door frame. You don't need a gallon can, a paint tray and a brush to wash for a five-minute fix. You need white touch-up paint with the brush built right into the bottle.

Mr. Brushable™ — The Bottle Is the Brush. Squeeze, brush, done. Shop at MrBrushable.com.

Big mess, small bottle

That's the bottle Bigfoot is holding: the Mr. Brushable™ Touch-Up Paint with Built-In Brush in White. It's a small squeeze bottle of water-based, fast-drying touch-up paint with the paint brush attached. Squeeze to feed paint into the brush, brush it over the scuff, cap it for next time.

• No paint can to pry open
• No separate paint brush to find or clean
• No tray, no mess, and it fits in a drawer
• Comes in 4 oz and 6 oz; 4 oz White is $8.99

What white touch-up paint fixes

The built-in brush is made for precise touch-ups where most scuffs actually happen:

• Scuffs and scratches on white walls
• Nicks and chips on baseboards and trim
• Dings and gashes on door frames and doors
• Chipped cabinet edges and corners
• Small spots on previously painted wood furniture

How to touch up white paint so it doesn't show

1. Clean the spot. Wipe away dust and scuff marks with a damp cloth and let it dry.
2. Check your sheen. Trim, doors and baseboards are usually semi-gloss. Walls are usually flat or eggshell. A white that's the right color but the wrong shine will still show.
3. Test a hidden spot. Whites aren't all the same. White, off-white and antique white look different side by side.
4. Squeeze gently to load the built-in brush. A little paint goes a long way.
5. Brush a thin coat right on the damaged spot. Don't spread fresh paint far past the repair.
6. Let it dry, then look again. Add a second thin coat only if you need it.

Which white do I need?

The brush bottle comes in White, Off-White and Antique White, plus colors and a clear coat. If your white has yellowed with age or you don't know the shade, try our custom color-match paint to get a closer match.

Brush or roller for white walls?

Use the brush bottle for edges, trim, baseboards, door frames and small chips. For a wider scuff in the middle of a flat or eggshell wall, a roller blends better because it matches the wall's rolled texture. Try the touch-up paint with a built-in roller.

Got a really big touch-up job? That's where the real Mr. Brushable BIGFOOT comes in: 12 oz and 16 oz bottles with a built-in 3-inch roller.

Quick answers

Can I use white touch-up paint on baseboards?

Yes. Baseboards are one of the best uses for the brush bottle. Match the sheen (usually semi-gloss) and brush thin coats along the grain.

Why does my white touch-up look different?

Usually it's the sheen, an older wall that has yellowed, or too thick a coat. Read why touch-up paint looks shiny for the fix.

Do I need a separate paint brush?

No. The bottle is the brush. When you're done, put the cap back on and store it for the next scuff.
