I have recently patched a hole in my drywall with a kit. Should I paint over it now?

I have patched a hole in my drywall with a kit from Home Depot. It came with a piece of flat metal and a mesh thing to put over it. I spackled over it with a good layer and it has dried, but the mesh/metal part seems to still be noticeable. Should I add another layer of spackle over this or is this normal? Should I just sand what is there and continue to add the primer and paint? Thanks!
