Touch-up paint FAQ

Mr. Brushable is touch-up paint with the brush built into the bottle. You squeeze paint into the brush, brush it over the scuff, and cap it. No can, tray or separate brush needed. It was invented by David Sparks in Raleigh, North Carolina and is patent pending.

The bottle holds the paint and the applicator is built into the tip. Squeeze gently to feed a little paint into the brush (or roller), apply it over the scuff or chip, then put the cap back on. There’s no can to open, no tray and no brush to wash.

Walls, trim, baseboards, doors, door frames, cabinets and railings, inside or outside. For wood furniture and floors, use Mr. Brushable Wood Stain + Poly.

The built-in brush touch-up paint comes in White, Off-White, Antique White, Yellow, Blue, Green and Red (semi-gloss), plus Stain Blocker and Clear, in 4 oz or 6 oz. Filled 4 oz brush bottles start at $8.99 and filled 6 oz brush bottles start at $11.99, with prices varying by color. For larger flat areas choose the roller bottle; for marks that may bleed through, the stain-blocking primer.

The brush bottle (4 oz or 6 oz) is for small chips, edges, trim, cabinets and detail work. The roller bottles are for flat wall areas: the standard 6 oz roller bottle with a 2-inch roller for smaller spots, and BIGFOOT with a 3-inch roller for broader areas.

The standard roller bottle holds 6 oz of paint and has a 2-inch roller. BIGFOOT holds 12 oz (filled or empty) or 16 oz (empty) and has a wider 3-inch roller for bigger touch-up areas. The ounces are how much paint the bottle holds; the inches are how wide the roller is.

Yes. Snap a photo with our free Color Match tool. We’ll estimate your wall color from the photo and mix a custom touch-up paint. Photo matching is an estimate: lighting, camera settings and paint age affect the result. Test a hidden spot first.

Yes. Order an empty bottle and pour in the paint you already have: the 4 oz empty brush bottle is $6.99 and the 6 oz empty roller bottle is $9.99. Using your original paint helps match the original color and sheen, but aging, fading and application texture can still make a touch-up visible. Test a hidden spot first.

Stock brush-bottle colors and Custom Color Match paint are semi-gloss. Many walls are flat or eggshell, so color matching alone does not match the sheen. For the closest color and sheen match, use your original leftover paint in an empty bottle. Always test a hidden spot first.

Wipe the spot clean first; some scuffs are just dirt and come off. Apply a thin coat only on the mark, feather the edges outward, let it dry and add a second thin coat if needed. More tips are in the wall touch-up guide.

Use a small amount of paint and an applicator sized for the mark. Clean the spot, protect nearby surfaces, and squeeze gently to feed a little paint into the applicator. Apply a thin coat rather than flooding the area, wipe excess paint from the bottle, and replace the cap securely after use.

Fill the hole before painting. Remove loose material and clean the area, press spackle into the hole and level it, let it dry, sand it smooth and remove the dust, prime if the filler or paint requires it, then apply a thin coat of matching paint. The Nail Hole & Wall Repair Kit keeps spackle, a spatula, a sanding sponge and roller paint together. Paint alone does not fill a nail hole, and larger holes need a separate patch.

Fill and smooth small dents before painting. For marks that may bleed through paint, use Mr. Brushable Stain Blocker and follow its drying and topcoat instructions.

Yes. The brush bottle is made for edges, trim and cabinets, and the white semi-gloss cabinet & trim enamel is made for painted cabinets, doors and trim. For stained wood, use Wood Stain + Poly.

With Mr. Brushable touch-up bottles, it means paint storage and a built-in brush or roller in one handheld applicator. The Nail Hole & Wall Repair Kit combines spackle, a spatula, a sanding sponge, and touch-up paint with a roller. It does not mean every bottle fills holes or replaces primer: choose the product for your repair and follow its instructions.

They are a practical choice for small scuffs, chips and occasional repairs when you want paint and applicator together without setting up a full painting kit. For an entire wall or room, a full-size roller and a larger quantity of paint are generally more practical.
