Matching Sheen, Not Just Color

Flat, eggshell, satin, and gloss all catch light differently. Getting the color right but the sheen wrong is the most common reason a touch up ends up looking off.

Cleaning The Surface First

Dust, grease, and grime keep new paint from sticking evenly. We clean the area before we ever open a can.

Cutting In By Hand

Edges, corners, and trim lines get cut in carefully by brush instead of rolled over, which keeps the lines sharp.

Feathering The Edges

We blend the new paint into the old by feathering the edges out thin, instead of stopping in a hard line that catches the light differently.

Letting Each Coat Dry

Rushing a second coat over a wet first coat causes lap marks and uneven color. We give each coat the time it needs before adding another.
