It's not impossible. I've done it successfully where you can't even tell where the patch was. First identify your finish. Is orange peel, knock down, etc. For some of these finishes they sell aerosol cans of the texture you need. Then practice on a board a little to get down the technique to match your texture. After texture, let it dry, prime and paint.

Your welcome. I found it's easier to control the texture using the paint brush than an large sponge.
