# How to Add Fixall to Paint
Fixall is the trademarked name for a brand of drywall compound. Drywall compound, also called drywall clay, is a handy repair product used to patch holes in walls or to restore special textured ceilings. Because drywall compound is typically white in color, it must be painted over to match the original surface. When patching small areas, you can save time by mixing fixall with paint to form a colored drywall compound.
