Can you spackle holes if you do not plan to paint?

I recently moved into a home and took down a rack that the previous owners had up. Now there are 4 big holes in the wall. I was not planning to paint in that area, so I was wondering if I can just fill the holes up with spackle? Will I need to do anything else so that the holes are not visible? Thank you!Can you spackle holes if you do not plan to paint?
It depends on how big the holes are. If they are just holes from nails or anchors, yes, you can spackle them. But, unless your walls are white, it's going to show. You could put something like a shelf or painting up to cover it but that's about it. If the holes are very large you're probably going to want to invest in a kit to repair your wall. In either case, without painting, the spackle will show.Can you spackle holes if you do not plan to paint?
If the walls are white or off white, the spackle may be a pretty close match. It won't be perfect. But it may be one of those ';live with'; things, until you get around to painting that room.





Certainly it will look better than leaving the holes unfilled.





Just hang a picture or two!
Depends on the size of the holes, and on the color of the wall. White spackle will look OK on a white wall.





If the holes are small, just use the feather light foam spackle, because real spackle will sag as it dries.
You can just spackle, but the repair will be visible without primer and paint. Good luck!
You can, but it will not be properly finished
