Use a sharp utility knife or a scraper to remove the rest of the loose paint from the wall. Save the little piece that you just chipped off and take it to a paint store to have it color matched. Buy a sample size of the paint, a small brush, a 1.5" or 2" cheap plastic putty knife, some form of 200+ grit sandpaper, and a small container of Dap Drydex spackle (any spackle should work, this stuff is just nice). | Use a sharp utility knife or a scraper to remove the rest of the loose paint from the wall.

I tried to fix holes I made in drywall. I got the spackle, sanded it and all. I took a paint chip and went to ace hardware. I got a small bottle of paint. I painted it up. The color matches quite well but the wall shines differently under light. Did I pick up the wrong paint or a wrong finish or something like that ? | |||
