The system includes pre-painted moldings each configured to be fastened to a wall by fasteners. The system also includes a caulk material, filler material, concealer material, and touchup paint each color matched to the paint color applied to the moldings. The caulk material is configured to fill a gap defined between each of the moldings and the wall to which the molding is fastened. The filler material is configured to fill a gap defined between any abutting portions of the moldings. The concealer material is configured to conceal any surface disturbances caused by the installation of the fasteners. The touchup paint is configured to adhere to the paint pre-painted on the moldings. The system may also include a marker configured to apply a coating color matched to the paint applied to the moldings, a scraping tool, and/or a buffing tool. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 -29. (canceled) ### Claim 30 A kit for use with pre-painted moldings fastened to one or more walls by a plurality of fasteners, the pre-painted moldings comprising a plurality of surface disturbances caused by installation of the plurality of fasteners, each of the pre-painted moldings having been pre-painted with a first paint, the first paint having been both selected and applied to the pre-painted moldings before the pre-painted moldings were made available for purchase by a purchaser, the first paint having a predetermined color, the kit comprising: caulk material color matched to the predetermined color of the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and configured to fill a gap defined between one or more of the pre-painted moldings and a wall of the one or more walls, the caulk filled gap being substantially indistinguishable from the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings; and concealer material color matched to the predetermined color of the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and configured to be applied to the pre-painted moldings and, after being applied, to be substantially indistinguishable from the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings, the concealer material being configured to conceal the plurality of surface disturbances caused by the installation of the plurality of fasteners, each of the caulk material and the concealer material having been preselected for use with the pre-painted moldings before the kit is made available for purchase by the purchaser. ### Claim 31 (canceled) ### Claim 32 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30, wherein the concealer material comprises a crayon. ### Claim 33 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30, wherein the concealer material comprises a wax crayon formed by extrusion. ### Claim at position 6 -45. (canceled) ### Claim 46 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30, further comprising: a scraping tool configured to remove excess concealer material from the pre-painted moldings. ### Claim 47 (depends on 46) The kit of claim 46, further comprising: a buffing tool configured to buff any portions of the pre-painted moldings from which excess concealer material was removed by the scraping tool. ### Claim 48 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30 for use with pre-painted moldings comprising one or more surface defects, the kit further comprising: a marker configured to apply a coating to the one or more surface defects of the pre-painted moldings, the coating being color matched to the predetermined color of the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and configured to at least partially conceal the one or more surface defects. ### Claim 49 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30, further comprising: touchup paint color matched to the predetermined color of the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and configured to adhere to the paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and once adhered to be substantially indistinguishable from the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings. ### Claim 50 (depends on 30) The kit of claim 30, further comprising: filler material color matched to the predetermined color of the first paint pre-painted on the pre-painted moldings and configured to fill a gap defined between any portions of the pre-painted moldings that abut one another, the gap filled with filler material being substantially indistinguishable from the first paint pre-painted on the abutting portions of the pre-painted moldings. ### Claim 51 (depends on 50) The kit of claim 50, further comprising: a scraping tool configured to remove excess filler material from the pre-painted moldings. ### Claim 52 (depends on 51) The kit of claim 51, further comprising: a buffing tool configured to buff any portions of the pre-painted moldings from which excess filler material was removed by the scraping tool.
