When it comes to refreshing your space with a fresh coat of paint, Walmart is the go-to for paint, brushes, and all other DIY supplies.
However, if you are looking for a unique color to make your space stand out, you might wonder whether or not Walmart mixes paint. Here is what I discovered!
Does Walmart Mix Paint?
Walmart does mix paint to order. When ordering paint from Walmart, the paint mixing service will be free, and the wait time is between five and ten minutes. If your local Walmart is open 24 hours a day, you can still get your paint mixed during the night.

The good news is the Walmart paint is free to mix! For the paint itself, you can expect to pay between $10 and $30 per gallon of paint to be mixed.
The price of paint mixing at Walmart depends on the brand, the amount, and the type of paint. According to the Walmart website, if you want to purchase Walmart’s pre-mixed paint options, their Grab-N-Go paint costs between $14 and $40.
Alternatively, you can purchase a paint-mixing drill attachment from Walmart and do your paint-mixing at home. One of these attachments will cost you between $4 and $20.

Walmart’s own official paint brand is ColorPlace which is made by Sherwin Williams that also offers customers the pre-mixed paint option in both cans and sprays.
What Types of Paint Does Walmart Mix?
Walmart offers its mixing service for both indoor paint and outdoor paint. They will also mix any sheen type, including satin, eggshell, matte, high-gloss, or semi-gloss.
However, Walmart will not mix different sheen types, nor will they mix a combination of indoor and outdoor paints.
How Do I Mix Paint at Walmart?
Paint mixing services are located at the paint desk, in the Home Improvement section of the store, and have the same opening hours as the rest of the store.
Bring in your desired color swatch, and an employee will be able to mix the paint for you on the spot.
Typically, the wait time for mixing paint at Walmart is around 5-10 minutes. However, this can take longer depending on the time of day and how busy the store is.
