Drywall hole, plaster, Primer and Paint

painting

I removed the toilet paper dispenser on the wall, covered up with compound, and sanded. I applied primer on the affected area but I painted the entire wall. So, now my wall is not consistent. Can I fix the problem by applying a few extra coats of paint in the area where I applied primer? If not, what is the best way to fix the problem?

Thanks so much! enter image description hereenter image description here

Best Answer

If the paint color is both:

  • similar to (or the same as, but similar would do) the previous paint color and

  • significantly different, especially darker than, the (probably white/off-white) primer color

then the newly primed area will not show the paint color as "completely" and an extra coat or two in that area should do the trick.
