I repaired some holes in my bathroom with drywall compound, but didn't sand it. The painter I hired said he would prepare the walls before painting. He didn't, and put on two coats of paint.
It looks terrible. How can I fix this?

Best Answer
1 - Sand down the spot.
2 - Prime the spot.
3 - Paint the spot with a fine brush. (Brush strokes make it easier to blend the paint with the surrounding walls)
(After drying the paint should look like the surrounding wall, if the paint looks lighter add a second coat)
As for your painter, you probably should have told him you wanted a smooth wall. Painters usually just wipe the wall down before painting, they don't sand the walls unless asked.
