Touch-Up Mixer

Plan touch-up mixes from photos.

Use the free core workflow to sample a repair colour, compare it with your own palette, check a test mix, and save practical starting points for paint, stain, filler, shellac, putty, and more.

Built for real repair work

A practical colour-mixing helper for the bench.

Touch-Up Mixer is designed for small repairs where judgement still matters. It gives you a repeatable way to sample, compare, test, adjust, and record what worked. The app is genuinely usable for free, with Pro available as a one-time unlock when your repair library, palettes, or export needs grow.

What it helps with

From first sample to saved repair record.

Photo-guided sampling

Place match, repair, and ignore circles so the colour options are driven by the surrounding finish, not glare, dirt, hardware, or damaged material.

Your own palette

Build palettes from the colours and media you actually use, including acrylics, stains, dyes, shellac tints, fillers, putty, wax, and pigments.

Practical mix suggestions

Get starting recipes that respect the selected medium, with shorter suggestions for translucent and solid repair materials where restraint matters.

Standalone Repair records

Save and continue standalone Repairs with photos, sample points, palette choice, suggested mixes, notes, ratings, and after photos for follow-up work or future reference.

Pro Jobs and exports

Unlock Pro to group related Repairs by client or item, reuse shared job photos, export before/after images, create Repair or Job PDFs, and manage saved work in bulk.

Free to start

Use the core repair workflow before you pay.

Palette first

Mix from what is on your bench.

A small honest palette is more useful than a large imaginary one. Touch-Up Mixer changes its suggestions based on the medium, opacity, clear modifiers, and colour set you choose.

Common questions

Touch-Up Mixer FAQ

Does it guarantee an exact colour match?

No. Photos and screens vary, so suggestions are practical starting points. Test the real mixture and adjust it under the lighting where the repair will be seen.

Can I use my own repair materials?

Yes. Build palettes from the colours and media on your bench so suggestions reflect the materials you can actually mix.

What is included for free?

The free app includes photo sampling, repair-area setup, palette selection, suggested mixes, Check Mix, and saved standalone Repairs within the free capacity limits.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time unlock for unlimited saved work, larger palettes, Jobs, shared job photos, exports, and bulk saved-work tools.

Are photos or recipes uploaded?

No. Photos, palettes, Repairs, Jobs, addresses, and notes remain on your device unless you choose to share an export.
