Hey hey,

I want to eyedrop a certain colour from the background and then somehow use it to "repaint" a layer. How would I do that?

Cheers,

Well by "repaint" I mean what f!ss!on said; take the paintbrush tool, lower the opacity, and paint a shade of a colour over my object.

But how do I just select the one layer for the paint? Everytime I right-click and select the layer, I have control over that layer. But the paintbrush still puts paint on the background. How do I issolate the layer?

Make a new layer. Make sure you have that layer selected, by left clicking on it. And paint on it. It shouldn't be painting on the background layer if you have a blank layer selected.
