Painting Woes


I recently painted a room with interior semi-gloss enamel. Unfortunately I had left the painters tape on overnight and when I removed it, the paint stretched and pulled away from the wall.I tried removing the tape as carefully as possible but there are alot of small spots & 2 large ones where this occurred. Is there any relatively easy way to repair the paint job or am I up the perverbial creek?

Use a fine abrasive sandpaper and feather out the edges. Then use the same paint and paint these areas - take the tape off immediately after painting

Drywall DIY Guy is an unknown quantity at this point
You can fill in the recesses with drywall compound. Let dry. Refill the areas that have shrunken in after drying til its all level after it is thoroughly dry. Sand lightly, prime, and paint.
