Painting Over wallpaper
Re: Painting Over wallpaper
Yes. We have a mobile home with wallpaper. I just painted a good quality primer first and then you can paint when it dries. Both of my bedrooms came out great,however, you may need to put 2 coats of paint. For the 2nd bedroom, I added a little silica to the paint (made for paint), to add a little texture and it looks great. If you use a good quality primer, you can even put a drywall texture (sprayed) on it. Don't try to remove the wallpaper because it is bonded onto the drywall board. Take you time and give yourself a couple of days and you should be just fine!

do you know if I can put primer on the walls if I have already painted over the wallpaper? I have already painted two rooms and they are beginning to peel when touched

You will need to remove the un-primed paint.... 0r it will continue to fall off the wall itself. See my reply to your other post HERE

Hello Will, you can surely paint over the wallpaper but just see that if the edges are not loose and if they are you can seal them with the use of a strong glue and press them tightly. This is the initial step you will have to do.
