I painted my wall a glossy color. I can now see the places where i used drywall compound on the wall?

i guess the compound wasnt sanded so perfectly. anyways (i did prime the wall) should i just get sandpaper and sand these areas off then repaint the sanded off area?





before paint, i removed the wallpaper and i left some guages and what not on the wall, which is why i had to patch it up with drywall compound.I painted my wall a glossy color. I can now see the places where i used drywall compound on the wall?
If the wall isn't perfect, every defect will show with a gloss paint. I suggest you sand the high spots down; re mud as necessary and then use a wet sponge for the final finish rather than sand paper. Use a flat or eggshell finish; you'll be much happier.I painted my wall a glossy color. I can now see the places where i used drywall compound on the wall?
All you have to do is go over the spots with more compound smooth them out and prime and paint you will be fine
re-mud the imperfections,





2. sand with fine drywall block sander





prime the wall and then paint
