When old paint chips, flakes, or peels, it leaves behind a
shallow depression. You'll need to repair these spots
before painting – new coats of paint won't hide them. Use
a fast-drying patching compound to fill the hole. |

 Scrape away
any loose paint with a putty knife or paint scraper. Apply
the spackling compound to the edges of the chipped paint
with a putty knife or flexible wallboard knife. |

 Sand the
patched areas with 150-grit production sandpaper. The
patched places should feel smooth to the touch and not
have any edges. If the walls have a textured surface
you'll need to texture the patched areas to match. |
