I have a mobile home and the walls have like wall paper on them. The wall paper that is on the walls it came like that from the manufaturer. I was wondering if I can use a primer over the walls and then go ahead and paint the walls. There is no way you can remove this that I know of. The wall aper is very thin not like regular wall paper.

Get a really thick primer and do a couple layers you'll be fine. People paint over wallpaper all the time. What's harder, just painting or pulling the wall paper off then painting...

When hubby and i moved into our house last year we had some border to remove in our son room, we used DIP,is a thick BLUE gel like spray, you can find at Home Depot lowes, some place like that....is easy to use and works..or you Can just use a primer and paint over it. If you dont want to see seems, where the wall paper joins together... best to use the remover! good Luck!

Certainly! Trailers might be cheaply made in some cases, but the paper that comes with the wall material does tend to stick tight.

Easy one Steve. Use Kilz. Not the water-based, or you can use any oil-based primer. Then just paint right over it. Need help, e-mail me, I was a painter for 30years.
