I have walls that are painted in a "flat" coat - the kind that does not reflect light. Has anyone tried to apply this on a flat coat painted wall?

I think the flatter the paint the better. We had already painted our walls with egg shell and then read in the second the wall shouldn't have any sheen to it. It went up just fine on our paint, but I would guess flat would be even better

I'm sorry I am not sure whether that will work or not as I have not tried to do that

It works on almost all paints. We rarely get a report by a buyer stating that decals don't work on their wall. If you are unsure, we can send you a sample and let you see how it does on the wall you want to put the decal on. Please contact us with your shipping address. We would be happy to help. To send a message go to the product listing on Amazon.com and click on "DecalYourWall" where it says: "Ships from and sold by DecalYourWall. " and then click contact the seller under Further Information, at the right and bottom side part of the page.

I thought it looked beautiful without being painted, however I used it on only one wall in my kitchen as an accent wall and painted it Hawthorne yellow to match the other walls. Either way is fine!

My walls are completely smooth. I really don't think it will work on textured walls. Go over to Hobby Lobby. They have decals on sale right now for $6. Try it and see if it works before ordering this one.

I did use this product once to prep a wall for wallcovering. The paint was semi-gloss, so wallcovering wouldn't have adhered well otherwise. Never had a problem.

I'm sorry, but we've only put on the first coat. We also had some "thin spots" but didn't have enough product left to try a second coat. I don't know why you couldn't cover with a second coat. That stuff is SO thick and sticky. Pretty sure it would stick to anything! :-)

I'm sure it'll get the mold off but you might not like what your painted wall looks like afterwards. Maybe just try a small section and see what happens.

Yes, you can. I had used this on a wall which was stripped of wall paper and then primed. I added it to the paint, and it worked beautifully.

Hello Merry, Our decals are meant for smooth surfaces, though they've done well on orange peel walls. Generally, they don't stick well to things that are spiky, or porous. I'd be happy to take a look at a snapshot of your wall.Thank You,

I have used a lot of different command hooks but I have always used them on flat walls. Sorry :-(

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

The back portion is flat and that would work fine on a flat wall. However, where the side shelves are, the part that would face the wall is unfinished so you would see the board. Quick fix would be to just paint that part ion a black and nobody would ever know because of the odd angle of it. Hope that helps. We love it and would highly recommend it! Good luck shopping!

I had the same experience. It looked like it was going to glow but it didn't work. I too had to apply more coats and still nothing

Yep, the came off my painted walls just fine. I would make sure to try to do it when you have some extra sets of hands around. Just pull it off slowly and evenly though, otherwise the vinyl will stretch.

On the wall. I wouldnt recommend it. It works best on a smooth shiny service like glass, plexiglass. On wood it peels off and sheet rock not so good. It is not idea paint. I really would not recommend it. It does not go on smooth so you may have an issue removing it when you leave the apartment . Even idea paint is thick on a wall. I used both.

I have to say no. I painted a regular wall with chalk paint, let it cure for a few days and then used the SuperChalks to design a holiday theme. I just tried to wipe it off and I'm not having much luck. I might try the board cleaner or I just might have to repaint and use regular chalk. Love the Superchalks but perhaps the feedback is correct, don't use on porous surfaces.
