Small Tin of paint to match dulux total cover matt white

fret_wimp2

I need to do some small touch-ups on a wall, tiny amount.

The walls have dulux total cover matt white, and this only comes in massive 10L tubs.

Anyone advise of a smaller tin that would match it?

No, I'm afraid you'll have to paint the walls again, no touch up will match.

Even if I get identical paint? I've seen painters cover marks before without issue.

I can get the big tub if it has to be the same type.

It depends on how long it has been painted. All paint begins to fade a little after a few months. You could try patching with the same paint and if it doesn't work, paint the wall again. When patching feather out the sides of the fresh paint, so it blends with the original. Good luck!

If you only have to repaint one wall, just get enough of any decent matt white paint to do that wall. With the effects of light and shadow it's very unlikely to look unmatched with the rest of the room.

thanks for the advice guys.

we got a tin of dulux matt , much smaller than the bug 10 liter tub and it works fine.

The house was painted about 2 months ago so its relatively fresh, and wont have faded much. blended it in as advised and its un-noticeable.
