any tips on painting to make wall look solid, without it looking like

Measure the drywall twice, then cut it.

Apply a light coat of stuff to the joints, apply some tape over the seam,
then another light coat over that.

Feather it out twice with wider thingies, using the finish stuff last, and
sanding it in between.

When it's all dry, you paint it.

It's a pretty easy skill to learn if you go at it slowly and deliberately.
It helps to do your first wall somewhere like the garage where a small
booboo can be overlooked.
