Hi,

2 sq.meter area of my bathroom wall ha been splashed with haircolor. Now should I repaint the whole bathroom or touch up the stained spots only. Or can I repaint the 2 sq feet area where it is stained. Somebody said if I repaint it partially, it will look different from the rest of the bathroom. Is that right?



Thanks
Mathew

Mathewm, Put stain killer such as KILZ Original, not latex, on the stains, touch it up and see what it looks like. Depending on the paint type and color it may or may not touch up. If not you are set to repaint...Mike

Mix 1/4 bleach to 3/4 water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the spots where the hair color splashed. That should do it. That is what I do.
