Life happens, and freshly painted surfaces don’t stay perfect forever. Over time, they can get chipped or scratched, whether from moving furniture, boisterous pets, or an accidental vacuum bump. At some point, you’ll need to touch up chipped paint. But rather than lug out a paint can, brush, and tray every time your baseboards need…
Refillable paint pens take the hassle out of fixing damaged painted surfaces. They typically come with a syringe to make the refill process quick and easy, so. all you have to do is get your hands on some pens and grab a bucket of paint that matches the chipped surface. (This takes the guesswork out of trying to match paint with standard paint pens or repair markers.)
Once you have all the essentials, take one of the included syringes and fill it up with any latex-based paint. Then, insert the syringe into the refillable pen to transfer the paint. Secure the brush tip and it’s ready to go. You can use the pen to paint over any surface with the same paint color, whether it’s a kitchen cabinet, wall trim, door frame, or window frame. With a fine brush tip, you can tackle even the smallest chips without making a mess. It’s precise, quick, and incredibly easy. What more could you ask for?
To keep track of your paint pens and make future touch-ups easier, be sure to label them with the correct paint color. After they’re properly labeled and the caps are secured, store the pens in a drawer or toolbox until you come across another chip.
If you want to be proactive, you can prefill pens with the paint of other frequently touched surfaces in your home. That way, they’re always handy and within reach whenever a chip or scratch inevitably happens.
