Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Mar 20, 2019 5:45 pm Hi all, We have recently moved in to a new house and would like to patch up some of the screw holes where paintings once were. The house has recently been repainted however I do not know what the exact colour of the interior walls are (previous owners also do not know). I have seen that paint shops can colour match if you bring a paint chip in however as the interior walls are all brick I'm wondering how I can get a clean paint chip off the wall (about the size of 20c) without hacking up big chunks of brick. Can anyone recommend a method that won't do too much damage to the walls? Thanks Re: Paint Chip from Brick Wall for Matching 2Feb 12, 2020 7:55 am samc Hi all, We have recently moved in to a new house and would like to patch up some of the screw holes where paintings once were.
