Along with this I went around some of the walls and redid poorly done
nail sets and screw sets and one place even had an accidental drill
hole [as in, oops not here, but four inches higher on the wall] done
when they installed the doorbell. *EVERYone of these fills were sanded
flush using 120 on a large flat board, tack ragged, and painted,. Not
one had that 'water spot' effect around it. *So I wonder why, right
where it's going to show.

In my experience, unless that paint on the wall is relatively
new, when you get to the point that you're fixing that many
spots, the old paint and the new paint are unlikely to match
without something showing, sometime. *In some cases,
it may look OK sometimes, but with the right lighting or
lighting angle the spots usually show. * Meaning if
you're to the point of fixing all the imperfections like
nail bumps, screw bumps, etc., might as well just
paint the wall.

Am going to do that. But I found out that *if* the repair shows doing
a spot, it shows even after full painting, .
