I painted my wall a glossy color. I can now see the places where i used drywall compound on the wall?

Question

i guess the compound wasnt sanded so perfectly. anyways (i did prime the wall) should i just get sandpaper and sand these areas off then repaint the sanded off area?

before paint, i removed the wallpaper and i left some guages and what not on the wall, which is why i had to patch it up with drywall compound.

Answer 1

If the wall isn't perfect, every defect will show with a gloss paint.  I suggest you sand the high spots down; re mud as necessary and then use a wet sponge for the final finish rather than sand paper.  Use a flat or eggshell finish; you'll be much happier.

Answer 2

re-mud the imperfections,

2. sand with fine drywall block sander

prime the wall and then paint

Answer 3

All you have to do is go over the spots with more compound smooth them out and prime and paint you will be fine
