Nail holes and small dents are an easy repair.

Steps

  1. Small holes: fill with spackle, let dry and sand lightly
  2. Holes up to a few inches: use a self-adhesive mesh patch
  3. Apply thin coats of joint compound, feathering the edges
  4. Sand between coats, wearing a dust mask
  5. Prime, then paint
