If you want a really good paint finish I would skim coat the entire drywall. It is only a very thin layer of mud and you can almost see the drywall through the mud, this skim coat gives a very consistant look to it especially if natural light will strike the surface. Joints in drywall stands out like dogs balls in natural light no matter how good you are. All in all though there is some good tips being suggested.
Im just a carpenter so im not that flash at the old drywall mud, any pros here.
