[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3433374, member: 10690"] If you sprayed the original and are trying to touch up with a brush or roller, you are probably seeing a slight texture difference, and not a color change. You can blend it, by feathering the edges like someone else said, with either a roller or a brush. Don't over work the paint. Don't put it on in the direct sun or heat of the day. Mind your ambient conditions listed on the can and the data page though. If you don't have a data page, or don't know what one is google Sherwin-Williams (insert name of paint here) and you can easily find one. It will tell you more about that paint than you ever wanted to know. Touch up is touch up, and when it's new it will be visible if you are OCD. Brand new paint always has a little more sheen than paint that was applied even a few days ago, even if it's flat. The glossier the material, the worse it shows different textures and imperfections. As the paint ages, the sheen will soften and get covered with dirt and dust and the other normal stuff that happens to the outside of the house and it will become less noticeable, and eventually you won't be able to find it even if you know where it is. Touch up your house, and then leave it alone. If you spend a bunch of time making it match on the day of the touchup, it won't match later. Which would you rather have? Be patient. [/QUOTE]
