Thanks! Great little tip for those of us looking for a quick, easy fix. Forget the naysayers, this worked perfect for my little touch-up. Guess I'm lucky mine wasn't load-bearing paint HAHA
Ok so this will only cover the Color and not matching the texture. I had this same issue a couple times and learned how to fix it more properly. First, thin down your joint compound by like a lot. Don’t put it on thick. Use the tip of a 2 inch paint brush to dap on the patch. You may need a few coats for full coverage. The goal is to keep the patch as flat as possible. And if you want a perfect fix, Buy some popcorn texture from Home Depot, usually less than $20. Thin that down again and get some material on the paint brush, now, instead of dapping, you’ll flick the tip of the brush to have the spray on effect like using a hopper. This should get you a very close match to the original finish.
This guy has no idea what he’s doing. That would not work on a larger area. I do this for a living and this is not how you do it. Use drywall compound and mix your paint in the compound to thin it out and match color. Get a stab brush for local hardware store. Harry homeowner this will work for but it’s not the correct way. As soon as someone slams a door hard that crap will fall out unless he gets lucky.
Thanks for the feedback. Five minute fix and going on five years and counting. Not sure why a small dab lightly brushed on would fall. Just covering color not correcting texture
This is obv for small touch-ups, why do you assume he meant to use this technique for larger areas? Sure, your process is prob the correct way to do things but it's way overkill for most tiny paint mess-ups.

Thank you, you’ve solved my problems of patching up my ceilings .
Wheat is the product you are using. As I tried to touch up the paintwork with white paint and it dried grey?
