Painting Question

Spackle and sandpaper. Enjoy!

svengoli,

Not really. You can work on the edge a little bit but to really get the imperfections out you need to skim coat. I know this isn't a good solution but if you paint the walls white you will not notice them as much or perhaps if the walls are not so bad I would think about some wallpaper

What primer says. Also, you probably know this, but the lower the sheen of the paint, the more the imperfections won't show. For minor imperfections, a sheen up to eggshell is fine. I don't care for flat paint in most situations, but that will hide the most (I just find it too lifeless in most situations).

Svengoli,

Kyle has an excellent point. You could also use a textured paint to cover it up, maybe Ralph Lauren suede. I would do a sample first

Thanks for the responses!
