Ah bum !

Suck the paint up in a straw and blow it back out, altering your amount of puff to change the spray pattern. 

 

Works a treat, have used this ol trick to get me out of loads of situations.

It will stick out like a sore thumb if I just paint it - as it will show texture if I’m not careful

be careful then.

Just spoke to paint manufacturer . They reckon if I sand it back super gently and use a fine roller with a watery coat first ( and leave to dry ) - then go over it again I should be ok......

So ordered just a tester pot as that should be enough....

No fecking way I’m heading down that rabbit hole again!

Couldn’t sand this no matter how gentle - it just ‘pulls’ it loose .

So a very weak pva mix to stick the edges down . Sample pot of exact matching paint ordered .

[PeterW]

Sounds like the paint hasn’t bonded correctly to the underlying plaster. What was the first coat..??

[SteamyTea]

Lightly sand the surface of the paint above the damage.

Use some filler to create a new 'paint thickness' below the damage.

Lightly sand and then paint.

 

If you really don't want to see the difference, there are some wrist exercises that make you go blind, similar to sanding.

It hasn’t Peter

Though I did a first watery coat using the same paint . Speaking to the company they suggest next time to use a watered down emulsion first . He said this as it is would not be an issue assuming I don’t stick a piece of sellotape on it and pull it off . 

[PeterW]

If you want it to look the same as the sprayed area then buy an airbrush kit - not expensive.

I did quickly look at cheap ones - but they all get mixed or terrible reviews .

Any you suggest ???

[SteamyTea]

You could get one of these.

Then send it to me as I want to know if it is any good.

Might be worth a punt. £45 quid to apply 45pence of paint. Still it's this or setup the spray BEAST!

Surely worth a try before spending even more money, can’t do any harm!

Too fecking late mate!. I'm not convinced any roller won't leave a texture. Anyway - new toy on the way!

Good man.

The kind of thing you are spraying is similar to the small things I need to do.

Let me know how you get on with it.  I have some small, "St. Ives", picture frames I want to spay up.

Not sure when I will be passing, was going to see my Mother, but think she is now in Tier 3, so may have to rethink plans for my 2 weeks off.
