paint touch-up

Small paint fix

A paint touch-up is a small repair to a painted surface, covering chips, scratches, or worn spots rather than repainting the whole area.

Most commonly refers to automotive bodywork: The dealer offered a free paint touch-up for the door ding.

Also applies to walls, furniture, or any painted surface needing spot correction.
