Can i paint over vinyl wall paper?

is it possible to paint over vinyl wall paper using kitchen paint? will i need to use any undercoat?Can i paint over vinyl wall paper?
yes you can, it will bubble whilst it's wet but then will disappear when dry. if you get a big bubble you think may not disappear then prick it with a pin before it dries. also put a first coat on of cheap white or cream emulsion as a base coat to save on the top colour of paint you have decided on. if you decide to remove the paper at a later date, don't worry it will come off easier after being painted than before. trust me i have done it numerous times it will look fine and it's quick.Can i paint over vinyl wall paper?
Yes, you can but it's always best to remove the wallpaper to insure that your paint will last. If the wallpaper comes off so does your paint. Depending on what color you are painting depends on if you need a base coat. It's always best to do a base coat though, but if your wall is light and your paint is dark you should be okay.
I think you can but not advisable as it may show through at later date.


Hire a steamer and steam the paper it should come off really easy.


You will also have a smoother painted wall
You can as long as it is sound. Use a Primer ,let fully cure before putting on your gloss. Byee
I know people who have, you would want to scuff it up first so the paint sticks better. Are you doing a faux or just plain and is your paper textured or smooth. Lots of things to consider first. Is it a big room? More details needed.
you can,l i recently did...it looks good but there is a bubble or two..you are better off peeling but it is a whale of a job and you may like me just want to paint it and be done.
Yes but please don't. Think about the person who may want to remove the wallpaper down the road. They will be cussing you all day long. Do the job correctly. Remove the paper.
you will need to use a primer before you paint.it will help seal the paint.and hide the wallpaper.so please use a primer or it will not come out right the wall paper will show right through it will look a mess.
Yeah, use paint adhesive found in stores like true value, Lowe's or Home Depot, be careful about the amount of paint, otherwise you will make the vinyl curl and it will look terrible.
