Does anyone have suggestions on painting wall paper? Its in my bathroom and i can not take it down. How can i cover up?Any advice on painting wall paper?
Its best to use a waterbase primer ...Benjamin Moore has one called Fresh start. After the prime coat make sure wall paper is still tight then if so you can apply finsh coat. I just spec'd a large interior with this system. It works well. If the wallpaper paste is reactivated by the primer the wallpaper must be removed or you will end up with a huge messAny advice on painting wall paper?
I agree with sanding the seams and priming the wall paper, but if at all possible, I would remove the paper before painting. If you paint it and the paper later starts to peel, it will look horrible.
Sand down the seams so they don't make ridges in your paint job. Use a coat of Kilz to make sure the color doesn't bleed through the paint. Then apply finish coats of paint.
if you want to paint multi colors paint the wall the main color 1st then the secondary color let that dry and so on
Dont paint over the wall paper!
You really should remove the paper. It is not all that hard to remove and your end result will look so much better.
