Thanks for the response. Can you recommend any other spackle brands?
Will the primer affect the color of the paint when compared to the
other areas?

You really shouldn't need primer. I believe the problem is a moisture
problem, or possibly bad spackle or bad paint. The primer will not affect
the color, assuming you apply the proper number of coats to cover, be it 1
or 2 or ... depending on paint quality and color. However, you *must*
feather out the paint edges as Norminn said or else you will definitely see
lines, depending on the light.
