Can you use Chalk paint over wallpaper?
We have used this paint on many different surfaces......with very good success.Has anyone out there tried it on walls.......even over wallpaper?Thanks.
Hello! Yes, absolutely! You should gently sand the wallpaper — this allows for better adherence. Wipe down any residual dust. Then apply an oil-based primer and an oil-based paint. Not water-based. Water-based primer and paint will reactivate the wallpaper glue and cause the wallpaper to peel.
I remeber being told only once.
I sure wouldn't. I strip wall paper and paint for clients afterwards, and if I was to quote for a job with painted wallpaper it would be triple the price. It frequently bubbles after you paint and is a nightmare.
Yes! I’ve done it many times and it always looks great.😊
Yes. It must be primed first with a good paint that has good adhering and stain cover. Was the walls with tsp will help if it's for a kitchen or a room thst had a lot of cigarette smoke.

Yes but I wouldn't. It is hard to remove paper later when you change your mind.
