Let the compound dry and then sand lightly, feathering in the edges as you go. Verify that paint matches existing colors by applying it on the wall behind a door before repainting repaired spots.Secondly, what is the best paint finish for walls? A: Flat, eggshell and satin paint are best for interior walls, whereas semi-gloss and gloss paint are best for trim and woodwork. My personal preference may fall to flat paint because I like the look, but most people are quite happy with eggshell paint, which has a soft glow to it where the light hits. Keeping this in consideration, do I need to prime textured walls? Priming. A coat of primer is sometimes optional if the textured wall has been previously painted. It is mandatory, however, when painting a freshly textured wall. This is because the texture medium will absorb the paint as it is applied, resulting in blotchy, uneven color.Is there a textured paint for walls?Smooth texture paint has a heavy-bodied finish and can be used on walls and ceilings. Texture additives may be mixed into most oil-based and latex paints. Spray texture paint is economical and makes applying texture to ceilings much easier. Touch up spray is available for repairing acoustic or popcorn ceilings.
