Final Step: Paint the Repaired Area

What happens here

After all patching, sanding, and texturing steps are complete and fully dried for each method (beginner, intermediate, and pro), the final step is to apply paint. Load a roller with your chosen wall paint and apply an even coat over the repaired area, extending slightly onto the surrounding wall to ensure complete coverage and a blended finish. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, then apply a second coat if necessary.

Goal: Paint the patched and textured drywall to match the wall.
