What paint color will be good for a subpar drywall finishing job??

I consider myself a rookie when it comes to finishing drywall. What color do you think will mask some of the errors in my finish work?? It's in the basement without much natural light, so a lighter tone might have to work.What paint color will be good for a subpar drywall finishing job??
There is no paint color that will hide flaws. If the mud and tape job is not too bad, use a heavy texture to cover the imprefections. You can rent a texture hopper at most equipment rental or home improvement stores. use can purchase pre-mixed texture and apply.





Just remember to mask and tape those areas that you dont want to texture. The bright side is if you over spray texture, it wipes clean with a sponge.





After it drys primer and choose any color that fancies you.What paint color will be good for a subpar drywall finishing job??
maybe you should just choose a light colored textured paint
I highly recommend ';orange peel';. It hides a multitude of sins. Home improvement centers rent sprayers for that type of application. The paint department can tell you how to apply the finish. It' easy and looks good when painted. It can be painted any color.
I'd start with off-white, couple of coats, and see how it looks after that.

texture.


Buy can of texture paint (we use sand texture for tiny bumps); heavier the 'sand', the more blemishes it will hide.


1) clean off 'dust' on walls.


2) apply drywall primer. allow to dry.





Put some texture paint in an ice cream bucket %26amp; mix with water until it is the consistency of paint then pour some into your roller pan. Have a 'bumpy' paint roller.





3) roll your texture onto the walls. This usually dries fast.


4) Now paint your color.
