A contractor installed new drywall and matched the house's orange peel texture on the wall. I haven't seen him since and he said something about having to sand the wall. Does anyone know the final steps to finishing a wall, so I can finish it myself? Any info is appreciated!

How well does the new "orange peel" match the old? Maybe all you have to do is prime it and paint it...

There are a couple of small blobs on the wall that stand out, but otherwise it looks good. If I could get away with hitting those spots with sand paper or whatever is required, it would save a lot of work versus doing the whole wall.
