Painting Mistake

17 years ago

We moved into a our "new" home a few weeks ago and a few of the rooms needed paint. One of the bedrooms had some rough drywall so I smoothed them with spackle. By mistake, I grabbed the can of white semi-gloss instead of the primer (same size can) and primed the spackled patches, some were quite large. I then put the first coat of eggshell (ivory color) paint on the room. I woke up this morning and realized what I had done and am now worrying if the paint coatings will be stable in the long run. It seems to be OK now except that the "primed" areas are a little more shiny. I do have to put on another second coat of eggshell. I can live with a little shine difference but will the spackled areas eventually peel? I would really hate to sand those areas to re-prime and paint them. Thanks!
