I'm painting my kitchen. Show
Some areas of the walls had to be repaired with spackle. Do I need to do a prime coat before I paint? I'm painting the same color. Although I'm changing the finish from eggshell to semi-gloss. Paint is Benjamin Moore Atrium White-- if that means anything. I'm thinking maybe because it's a kitchen and the repaired area is near sink-- that it might make sense to prime.

My dad and his dad were both professional union painters. They taught me that for small spots of spackle on the wall, all you have to do is put a quick layer of regular paint over them with a brush while you're doing your cutting-in brushwork. The spot over the spackle will be mostly dry when you go back over it with the roller later. I know from personal experience that this works. Also, there's no reason to prime if you're repainting a similar color. I also know from personal experience that if you don't pre-paint your spackle as I described, you will be able to see it after the paint job is done. The color may hide it just fine, but where the rest of your wall is covered with a slight texture from the roller, the spot that was spackled will be smooth. It stands out like a sore thumb. Hitting the spackled spot with your brush while cutting in and then rolling back over it later is all that is needed to fix that problem. answered Mar 28, 2013 at 23:10

Simply painting over the spackle spots often allows them to bleed through the coat of paint in a manner that is commonly referred to as “flashing.” It takes a few extra steps after repairing your wall to ensure that the spackle spots can be
well-hidden and unobtrusive. These steps go a long way toward protecting the appearance of your building, even after the wall has sustained damage. Here are a few of the best tips for hiding spackle spots on your walls. Spackle is a material that is incredibly common for repairing damage to the walls. When you simply slap a layer of paint over the spackle spot, it will stick out rather obviously. This leads to significant issues, particularly when it comes to
the appearance of the walls after they have sustained damage due to an accident or excessive wear. Spackle spots are also often a different texture than the surrounding wall. They tend to be less bright than the surrounding wall, due to the porous nature of spackle spots. Taking additional steps can help to prevent the spots from sticking out extremely obviously. Spackle spots tend to be incredibly obvious when you have used it to repair the wall.
This significantly detracts from the overall appearance of a room or a wall. Spackle spots commonly bleed through the layers of paint when they aren’t prepared properly. This is such a common aspect, that it is referred to as “flashing.” With the appropriate steps, you can reduce the appearance of spackle spots and ensure that your wall maintains a beautiful, pristine appearance. The first step in hiding spackle spots is to ensure that its
texture is similar to that of the wall. The spackle needs to be completely flush with the wall, or the protruding part will result in an obtrusive appearance. In order to ensure that the spackle spot is flush with the wall, you need to start by spreading the spackle out further beyond the edges of the repair than is strictly necessary. Ensure that you then allow ample time for the spackle to dry. Once it is completely dry, you will want to thoroughly sand down the area until it is flush with the
surrounding wall. Ensure that you use your fingers to feel the area. In this particular situation, your sense of touch will be much more reliable than your sense of sight. Feeling the area will help you to most accurately detect when it is flush with the wall. It is incredibly important to ensure that you use a primer over the spackle spot area before you paint the wall. When you don’t use a primer, it will be much more likely that the spackle spot will stick out.
Spackle is a more porous substance than the materials that make up the surrounding wall. Due to the porous surface, going without primer will ensure that the spackle spots appear as a dull spot on the surface of the wall. It is important to use primer on the spackle spot prior to painting the wall. This can help to prevent the finished product from appearing much duller than its surrounding area. It is especially important to consider the products that you use on your repair job when the job is
on the exterior of the property. Paint Entire WallYou will need to paint the entire wall in order to most effectively hide spackle spots in the room. This helps to ensure that the paint will match perfectly throughout the entire wall. A cohesive appearance can be provided through a complete paint job to the surface of the wall. Painting the entire wall is an important step in hiding spackle spots. When you don’t paint the entire wall, it is likely that the spackle spots will still be apparent, even if you have completed all of the prior steps for hiding spackle spots.

Can you paint over spackle without sanding?Painting Over Interior Spackle
If the spackle repair is on a smooth surface, it needs to be sanded very flush so there are no ridges. Feel for roughness by running your hand over the repair. If the spackle patch is on a textured wall, you may not have to sand at all.

This means that painting over spackle without primer will result in a dull spot that doesn't match the rest of the wall.
