Roll it with a few coats of paint, with a reasonably fluffy roller - if that's the type of orange peel effect I'm thinking of. Make sure to use the same type, colour tint and brand of paint that was originally thereAfter patching drywall, what is the best way to mimic the ';orange peel'; texture of several layers of paint?
WALMART SELL SPRAY ON SPACKLE LIKE MATERIAL THAT WILL HELP YOU MATCH THE WALL. IT WON'T BE PERFECT, BUT IT DOES BLEND RATHER WELL
here's a good way to 'fake' texture... thin down some taping mud till its about the consistency of tomato sauce, get a stiff bristle rectangular brush with 2 to 3 inch bristles, dip the bristles in the mix, and hold the brush close to the drywall and scrape your knife at a 90 to the bristles... it 'flicks' little beads of mud on the wall, and they dry to close to the same as is commercially 'spry' by contractors





test your mixture on some unassociated surface first...saves having to experiment and start over... its kinda fun,..realy,...trying to 'match' the pros's..!!.
try dabbing at it with wadded up paper towel, or a sponge to get the desired texture.
