Took the paper off the entry space. There are lots of dings and holes which I have filled with Poly fix smooth surface filler and sanded to a smooth finish. However, I am having a problem covering the damaged parts of the three untrimmed metal corners. How do I do this? Willing senior lady perfectionist with next to no knowledge, little money and lots of time would really appreciate your help, thank you.Painting tips. How do I repair metal corners on older drywall construction, or should I just give up and paper?
Here are a few links you might want to check out.

If you have a home Depot, Lowes or other home improvement store nearby, call %26amp; see if they offer how-to's in drywall/sheetrock finishing. They offer mini how-to classes on a lot of topics, but not sure about sheetrock/drywall.
It's really not that hard...start with a 6'; knife, progress to an 8';, then 10'; %26amp; final out with a 12'; if necessary...feather the edge %26amp; you'll be ready to prime...I know, it's easy to talk about, but harder to put in practice.
Give your library a call...they may have a how-to book.
Good luck...Painting tips. How do I repair metal corners on older drywall construction, or should I just give up and paper?
If there's a dented areas in these metal corners, fill them in with your filler. If there's a high point, tap it in with little taps of your hammer. Drywall mud (or your filler) should cover everything except the very most exposed tip of the corner.
Cut out the old damaged part and replace it unless you can flatten it out with a hammer. Replacing metal corners is really no big deal.
try to add some spackle around the area that is damaged then feather in the part that is damged the best way that you could
