I spilled some hair color thing onto the bathroom wall (small dots) and now I'm moving out I need to touch up a little before returning the house to landlord. Is there any quick fix tips available? I'm looking for some wall touch up paint pen/spray, do any of you know where to get these stuff from? (the wall is in cream color).
Many thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssHow to touch up the bathroom wall that has hair color products?
No touch-up pen...you will need to use a stain blocking primer (can be in a spray can) on your spots, then repaint the wall(s).

Have you tried bleach on it? Try washing it with super hot water (wearing gloves) and about 10% chlorine bleach. If there is still a ghost use a Clorox Bleach pen. Just dab it on the exact spots then leave it on overnight. In the morning, rinse. I''ll bet that most or all of it will come out. This technique has served me well. If you still have stains then you might try something like softscrub with bleach or Comet but they could damage the paint as well.
You will be hard-pressed to find an exact match to the paint since there are hundreds of shades of cream from varying manufacturers. You could spend a lot of time running around town to find it and even if you had the can that was used originally, the color is likely to be a little different because paints can fade or become dirty over time.
If you have a friend who is an artist (with an eye for color matching) they may be able to touch it up with acrylics.
Good luck.
depending how long you lived at this place will constitute what to do. if you have been there over 2 years that will be consider normal wear and tear and they were planing on painting any way (check with your manager for a copy of responsibilities when moving out). if you lived less than two years then you are in a little jam. if it is pretty close to a cream color, try using white out (yes i said white out) use the white out that is used for covering repo's, reason being it has a sealer built in to cover with out bleeding threw. now, if you go to office depot to get that type of white out. they have white out in a cream color also. you really cant get any cheaper. hope this helps
Try taking the stain off with rubbing alcohol, first, this has always worked for me when I got dye on the wall or counter.
If it doesn't work, you could also probably just take some fine sand paper and sand the spots off. Either of these will be easier than trying to match the color. Most landlords usually expect to have to repaint a property between tenants, anyway. Unless you made a real mess of the place, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
first you'll need to get the exact color and sheen (flat, semi-gloss, etc)
if its just a few dots you can use a q-tip or small artist brush.
if its a large area, just roll out the wall.
or....try hot water and a clean cloth
or...mineral spirits and a clean cloth
be careful with any cleaner as you will remove the paint
good luck!
