Painting Mistake #5
Thinking you can get more matching paint
Just because you get the same type of paint using the same color formula does not guarantee the color will match exactly. The best way to get around this is to mix all the paint that is supposed to be the same color in a 5-gallon pail and stir it. This is the only way to ensure you will have color consistency throughout. This is especially true with darker colors so make sure you mix those paints before you start painting.
There is nothing worse than checking your paint job the next day and realizing the colors at the top and side of your walls (where you used a brush) are a different shade than the paint that was applied with a paint roller.
If it looks like you are running out of paint and you don't think you will have enough to finish the room, you should get an extra can of paint and combine it/them with the existing paint before starting your next wall.
When you start the next wall with your new paint, treat it like it was a different color. This will ensure you have color consistency on all your walls and prevent the frustration of having to do it over.

When setting the patch make sure that joint compound is coming out of all the face material holes. Stick pins can help to hold the patch in place while your wiping it down
Don't be afraid of wiping too hard. Our face material is made from a tough composite and is strong enough not to be bothered by any amount of over wiping or sanding.
Because our face material is less than 1/16 inch thick, you'll only need to apply very thin coats of joint compound to achieve good results for your drywall repair.
When throughly dry, sand and recoat with joint compound. When dry, run your hand across the entire repair. Recoat and sand only if you feel it's necessary.
Once marked, use a drywall saw or utility knife to cut the circle out. Cut the circle out of the wall. Be sure to stay on the outside of the line
Double check your fit by placing the plug into the hole before you apply joint compound. One inch of movement between the drywall repair plug and hole is acceptable using DWC Drywall Repair Plugs..
Step 3: When patch is set apply a thin coat of joint compound. Try to keep your work as smooth as possible to cut down on sanding.
Step 2: Load the plug with joint compound as shown and place in hole. Wipe patch down until it's flush and tight with the wall.
Step 1: Resize the plug or use the package holder template to mark the damaged area of the drywall you need removed for repair.
