i don't think it would be a problem. I have used it mainly for shipping items and wrapping paper, but i did do some small amount of painting on it. if you are planning to paint it a solid color all over I would worry a little bit about wrinkling, but otherwise, great stuff! hope this helped :)

I would put another layer of Sheetrock over it to help hold it on the wall.. It would not prime well or paint very well.

I don't know. I didn't use any kind of paint over it. But it looks like you could paint over it. Sorry I could not help you with an answer.

YES- but although the print is life like - its only a single layer roll. Meaning you have to put a special adhesive on your wall before you sap this up or its very difficult to get it off one day. You can find it at a regular paint store- not home depot they only have wall paper glue. You need glue plus the 1st barrier adhesive. Good luck!

I used some screen paint off of EBAY. Looks fantastic. Best $50 (for hardboard and paint and trim) I've spent on my entertainment setup.MUCH better than the white wall. The black levels are acceptable now. The paint is grey but slightly reflective, so it's still plenty bright.

The only thing I can tell you is -- this is a very heavy weight paper. If the current wallpaper is absolutely adhered securely it may be okay. I wouldn't risk it -- just my opinion tho.

We put it in our bathroom also, and so far, it's held up nicely. We only have adults in our home, and no little ones. Our home is a 1918 bungalow style with plaster walls. There are a few in-perfections in the walls, and still I think that the paper covered nicely. I did use a wall paper paste, sprayed the adhesive side of the paper, and paint the paste on the wall. Once I smoothed it out, it dried great, and has not come up any place on the wall. Good luck :)

I have had the same section hanging in my background for quite some time & it was durable even in the wind. Are you using it as a background or will the parts be actually on the paper? If the parts are going to be on top of the paper I don't know if it will stand the duration of time as it would hanging in the background.

Well the instruction was in mine but it wasn't exactly explicit.I just figured it out somehow.What i did though was peel off the sheet of paper at the back carefully and then with great care,carefully put some pressure on the letters while putting it on the surface of the wall and then peel it slowly one at a time while lifting away the paper.I hope this helps with yours.Good luck.

I would not recommend that. Yes, in theory you 'could' put this over wood paneling.....however, any grooves or ridges in the paneling will show through the mural. You would have to use some kind of plaster/crack filler to smooth out the wall before applying the mural. Depending on the type of paneling ,that could be a very difficult task.

I've had mine on a wall that had a semi-gloss paint on it. I cleaned it with rubbing alcohol prior to applying. Since it was very large, I also used a hair dryer and put it on slowly. Do not pull the decal off the backing and then apply, but rather slowly pull the backing off while applying it to the wall. Use the hair dryer and moderate pressure with a smooth object to push any air bubbles out. It has been on for over a year with no problems.

This paint is just acrylic paint that you might find at a craft with a more realistic metallic look. I don't see why it could not be applied over wallpaper with a texture as acrylic paint is pretty versatile, I am just unsure how well it would hold up in the long run.

This is made to be painted over. the "take paint" question means, "can I paint over this once it's dry, would the color show through my DARK BEIGE paint, or will paint stick without pealing?" She doesn't have white walls. She isn't asking if it will match whatever color the walls in your house are painted. If you don't understand the question, don't guess.

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

i honestly don´t have that experiencie since i bought the paint to paint over a wooden board. but if you wish to repaint the surface i would reccommended that you eliminate this paint before you paint over it. that is why i bought the paint to use it over a wooden board, so i can give it the size i want and i can place it anywhere i want without bothering the paint. of course you can paint directly over a whole wall, that is one of the main uses of this paint, but again, i´m pretty sure it will affect any new paint you would place in the future.hope this helpsregards
