After doing drywall repair. Do I have to primer the entire wall or just the repair area before painting?

If it's a small area then just the area and touch up with 2 coats of matching paint if your not painting the whole wal. I usaully don't even prime I place 2-3 coats of matching paint on if its a small hole or an old speaker/vent hole etc.





If you're gonna paint the whole wall anyway then definitely just the area you fixed with the primer After doing drywall repair. Do I have to primer the entire wall or just the repair area before painting?
Just the repair area should be fine. If you're painting the whole wall, you still shouldn't need primer as long as it has been painted with a similar paint of a similar color, and is clean.After doing drywall repair. Do I have to primer the entire wall or just the repair area before painting?
Make sure you tape and sand the seams by the repair site, so you can just primer the spot and cover it with the same paint.
Just the repair area...unless you're going to paint the entire wall.
