Touchup Question


Here are the facts:
New drywall
1 coat primer
2 coats SW Promar 200, flat, medium beige color
Rolled with 1/4" nap
I installed crowm molding today and got some smudges and such on the walls.
Is it best to just lightly feather these in with a brush or should I do something with a roller?
Probably sounds awfully basic, but I want to do it correctly for the best results.
Thanks.

Re: Touchup Question


Well ok.. heh, you can prolly wipe most of them off with a damp cloth, touch up the rest with a brush.

Pro mar 200 flat medium beige? You couldn't mess it up if you tried. Touch it up anyway you want. You won't be able to find the touch up after a day or two.

Re: Touchup Question


It's true. You can wipe them then brush the areas. You said crown, so I'm assuming the 'smudges' are near the top of the wall anyway.

The flat paint saved you here....at least with the touch up portion of it. Then again, if you did use an eggshell or something washable like that, you would be able to wash the marks off without any need to touchup~something to consider...
