Will paint stick to vinyl wallpaper.

Ventilate the work area. First peel the vinyl off the wall. I ve hung and removed wallpaper for over 30 years. To avoid this it is best to remove the wallpaper from the wall.

Peel stick paint samples made with real paint and shipped within 24 hours. The backing will stay on the wall. To avoid prime wallpaper with an oil based primer to seal the surface. If your vinyl surface is clean the paint or primer will adhere to the vinyl rather than the dirt and you will have a longer lasting finish.

Wait for the primer to dry before painting over wallpaper. Old salem vintage wood peel and stick vinyl strippable wallpaper covers 30 75 sq. Once the walls are clean and you ve applied the primer sealer give the walls enough time to dry. Apply wallpaper paste to the underside of peeled up corners and seams using a foam paintbrush.

Dry strips off the wall in one sheet no special steamers strippers or tools needed. While you are waiting for the glue to soak wet the next strip. It should remove in strips from the wall. Paint will not stick to a dirty surface.

Check the can for exactly how. You can also use a primer between the vinyl and the paint. View real paint without the mess. Be sure your vinyl is clean before applying paint by washing it with soap and water and rinsing well.

Take a paint roller and water soak a strip. Water based paints and primer may reactivate the wallpaper glue resulting in unwanted peeling. Smooth the paper back into place to adhere it firmly to the wall. Meet the modern paint swatch.
