[A/S] Re: Paint Wallpaper
Hunter,
Is it wallpaper? Commercial vinyl? Or a border? Can you see
seams?
If it is only a border, I would remove it and then paint, if you
like. Moisten the paper with vinegar and water, or fabric softener
diluted with water. Either will soften the glue for easier removal.
Snuggles smells better!
If you are dealing with a heavy commercial vinyl (the kind you see in
office's, etc)...you should be able to simply pull it off. (The
fabric softener trick will not work). Be careful.
If you decide to paint over it, make sure the walls are clean before
you prime. Personally, as I have said before, I prefer BIN, but
Kilz, Kilz II, or 123 will get the job done.
If you want to faux paint I know of a web site with great ideas.
