When repainting a wall with many repairs and lots of angular light, consider using a primer.
When you have a wall with a sheen to it (non flat) using a primer ensures a uniform finish. I like to use a primer with some thickness to it that will build texture to the repaired areas as well.
Glidden Gripper was used here in this bathroom for adhesion and top coat performance.
