apply primer to patches

Patches are primed

All patches and filled spots are primed with a coat of latex or alkyd  primer sealer Use alkyd sealer on areas that will be painted with oil/alkyd finish paint.

Alcohol primer sealer may be used as an option 

When the primer is completely dry check to see if there are any rough spots that need to be sanded.

spot prime with color

When repainting the room with a similar color, the patches may be spot primed again with finish paint prior to painting so as to cover better with 1 complete coat of finish paint. This way you my be able to get by with one coat . If repainting a room with an un-similar color there is no need to do this. You may just need two coats
For optimum results:
Instead of spot priming the patches as in Fig 13 and 14, prime the entire wall surface with the primer-sealer, and follow with 1 or 2 coats finish paint if needed.
