    Used ceiling paint instead of primer on previously painted walls. Is this OK?
    We used ceiling paint instead of primer on previously painted plaster walls that we just patched some holes on. Is this okay, even on the areas that we patched? If not, how do we fix this?

    It should be fine, especially if white on white and no stains in the plaster.
