Vinal wallpaper and paint

2 replies

Hi,

Please could you offer me some advice?

My son's bedroom was covered in vinal wallpaper and it is too young for him so I said I'd paint it.

I thought I couldn't paint over the vinal so I pulled the top layer off, leaving what I assume is called 'backing paper'.

Can I paint straight onto this or do I need strip this off as well?

TIA x

No you need to strip it off. Get some sugar soap which you add to water and it scrubs all the backing paper off.
