Paint peeled off with wall border sticker

Question

Yesterday I tried removing a (childish) wall border sticker from my wall. I used steam from a kettle to try and melt the glue, but it didn't work for some places. Is there a simple fix for this, or do I need to paint the whole wall all over again?
Thanks!

Answer 1

If this were my wall I would:

1. Scrape off all loose paint.
2. Sand area with sanding block - heavy grit.
3. Feather in joint compound. Do another coat.
4. Sand area until flat.
5. Prime beyond damaged area.
6. Repaint.
