the old wallpaper started pealing off , and most of them have a uneven texture (surface), stripping them off wasn't that hard with the steamer kit

after stripping the surface of the wall looks decent enough, apart from some area are covered by the old wallpaper glue, problem is they don't look 100% smooth

the options are :

  1. spread with PVC then re-plastering the surface,
  2. or just slightly sand the surface then apply the Matt finish paint directly,.

I prefer the second option because it saves time and money any better options? what would a professional do in this kind of the job?
