Can I paint over wallpaper? - embossed wallpaper
I have some wallpapers really influenced by the room with pink and white roses. Whatever the reasons, but I wish it were a color, perhaps a rich dark red. Can I paint on the background image, or is it a no-no? You also need to remove it? Is it time and costs?
Thanks for the advice!

I painted more than wallpaper in my bathroom a few years ago (my first painting project!). I get paint on the wall and the document starts bubbling, sucked. Next time, I thought the painting was plastered on the wall that went to Wal-Mart and buy a scoring tool and the chemicals that went with him. First, the guests of planning regarding the elimination of paper, then spray on the chemistry of what I can remember that came out very easily. You can also buy or rent a boat and the steam Wallpapper wall. I would probably score before the steam, but I've never tried this method does not yet seen on TV
There is additive put in a spray bottle (buy a spray bottle industry. Rosee better and easier to put in the hands) of splashing water on paper and leave to land use and a scratch in the foreground. You may also need to invest in a tool that the results of the first template for the liquid to soak in.
If you decide to paint, to a sample of your dealer, select a region that will never be exposed, is to paint.
When the screen is brilliant in all colors can not.
If you have, make sure that the paper is no dust or grease or paint or cake, to the endpoint. A flat paint in May to work more on your screen, as Wil leave during his participation at the show better. Again, the evidence on the surface before applying everywhere collected. If it works, use a medium nap roller, and try not to go on the paper several times, can solve OT or tear the paper.

You can paint with oil paint, but will not be happy. So, if you decide to remove the paper, the problem multiplies.
Remove the paper. If you already have a softening in the home, the process is free.
Gat a "paper tiger" of the bank, so that the surface of the paper, so you can wait for the paper with the Tiger brand, the jet of warm water with a softening in the area and for 5-10 minutes. You have to dig fairly easily. Repeat til 'disappeared. Wash the walls with fabric softener, the last of the dough, patching holes, with the first and paint.
I work at Home Depot in the paint department, and yes, you can paint over the wallpaper. However, you can only use oil-based paints, and I would not recommend. What I do) is a stripper wallpapers (about $ 5 per bottle, a wallpaper scraper to get (about $ 5 - $ 7) and a spatula. It's not funny, or just do something, but you will be happier with the final results to paint wall faces. Simply spray on the screen with the remover, let stand for as long as the direction say, then start barking. Good luck!
I do not recommend painting over wallpaper, since the bubble in time, if the image is everything. It would be best to remove. There are several products on the market, but I found that the best way to avoid this, use of vinegar ... immediately dissolve the glue. It will take a little longer, but it can be done without chemicals.
My old roommate was a professional wallpaper hanger. I saw him float * the role of the old wall and the right of the picture on it. Since it is not necessary that the color paste to float easily.
Of course, if it starts to flake off, then I would take it, or use a razor blade, cut the parts. This is due prior to painting.
Before beginning any project it is always advisable TEST TEST. Take a test in a small area. So, if she has no time for small and money.
I love your creative spirit. Let him run wild.
* The float is the use of plaster or similar to the irregular parts, irregular holes and wells to obtain a smooth surface to fill.
Personally I never paint on the screen, is not happy with the result and end up doing again anyway. --- The best way is to rent a boat from a place of rental of premises, it works very well. --- Patch any holes with filler and then use a good brand of primer
I would say, Nono, cuz you can peel the paint chips and you have to do is a disaster! obtained Wallpaper Remover U does not cost much to buy in the shops, it takes some time cuz Tho May in question ...
