Just bought an older manufactured home and there are flowered walls in almost every room. It is not wallpaper. Do I need to prime before I paint? What kind of paint will cover best with fewest coats?

    Try paint for plastic? They make it for outdoor furniture, why wouldn't it work on glossy wallboard. (My parent s had it in their house, too.)

    Wash them, lightly sand after dry, and then use either primer then paint or a good paint and primers in one. Behr is the best I've used over dark walls, but if it's not a very dark color you could use any of the major brands in my opinion they all work well over light walls.

    Clean and dry the walls. Prime with a good stain blocking primer like Kilz. The use regular paint for walls. Your color choice.

    I would use a bonding primer. Clean and sand first as was mentioned above then coat with a good bonding primer. Behr is a good paint and primer, but will still scrape off due to the vinyl of you dont use the bonding primer first

    I think kills may have one or xim peel bond is even better. Good luck!

    I they are decals or adhesive sand down the edges and a shellac should cover them. Then you should be able to paint the wall and not tell they were ever there.
