Simon · Answer

Add some pva to your mist coat, always helps keeping the plaster sealed and less dust when sanding, spot prime any where you have filled or rubbed the mist coat completely away, paint will absorb much more evenly and give better coverage and finish

if the walls need a fill then you can paint over the filler.
If not you can paint over with emulsion .
test a small area first

Hello there.

I would apply zinzer to the whole area in question  it may need 2 coats. Then give a light rub down and apply  2 coats of your preferred emulsion that should do the trick.

Just a light sand and emulsion pva used as a sealer
