The second time I found an inconspicuous place on the wall and cut a circle out with a razor blade (patched it up later with spackle). Try not to go too deep and choose a nice flat area. A piece the size of a quarter is best.<br /><br />Just take the piece in to the paint counter and ask them to color match. We went to Home Depot. They only charge $3 for a color sample. It's pretty small (8 oz) and only comes in a flat finish. Then if you like it, you can take the bottle in (it has a barcode that gives them the formula again). Then have them mix more in the right finish. <br /><br />The little sample was enough for the holes in our living room. Since the finish was already flat it worked great. We will probably have them mix some more for the other rooms with the same color.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053681212895174585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473766588487567956.post-932117988128391272011-08-02T09:18:22.858-07:002011-08-02T09:18:22.858-07:00How do you take in a sample.
