Do you clean up the wall before you apply the paint? if not, what do you use to clean up the wall first?

We used the product on the basement floor and cleaned the floor with bleach and water before applying. We let it dry for several days before painting. If you have mold on your wall, I think you would want to kill the mold spores before applying the paint.

Removing from walls The key with vinyl wall sticker removal is to keep the paint intact underneath. If you pull too quickly the sticker may tear and will also probably take some paint with it too. 1.Test the wall sticker by slowly pulling at a corner to see how stuck it is. In some cases it will remove quite easily without leaving any damage to the paintwork. 2.If the sticker is firmly stuck then use a hairdryer (on a warm setting) to slowly heat the corner, then once it starts getting easier to peel, apply heat to the next area as you slowly remove the sticker. 3.Remain patient! 4.Usually with the heat removal there isn't any residue but if there is try soapy water but if this doesn't remove it then use an adhesive remover or even wd-40 / nail polish remover (always try a small area first to test it and use sparingly).

Did you clean your cabinets well before painting...I have had for several months; but they still look wonderful.....

You could just paint but the first coat will absorb into the wood and your painting won't be on the surface. I would do either one coat of gesso first or and all over coat of acrylic first.

Nothing to do, just let it dry for an overnight or 1 day to be sure. on the prep make sure it is dry and maybe you can use the sand paper (included in package) so paint will stick properly, then, clean it dry. It works on me, it looks like new afterwards.

I guess that depends on the quality of the paint. We've moved it around on my daughter's wall a couple of times and it did nothing to the paint at all. I would imagine that IF you were having issues with peeling paint BEFORE putting it up, it might worsen any preexisting problem.

no i usually brush the glaze on with a nice paint brush and letting it dry for a bit until i set it down, when you are done with the paint brush you have used make sure you wash the paint brush really good so the glaze doesn't dry up on the paint paint brush. Trust me, i have had experience with that!

I just use a dry stiff bristled paint brush. Gets into all the hard to clean spots.

No, you need the roller cover with holes in it to let paint get from the "stick" to the roller cover to the wall. T hey are easy to clean and re- use.

I didn't have much trouble but I didn't have it on the wall very long.however, Mr.clean scrub pad works great when getting residue off the walls.just don't scrub too hard.or 409 multi-purpose spray with a clean wash cloth will do the trick.but if the paint on the wall look like it can be easily damaged or chiped I wouldn't buy it just in case.

I just used the pre-cleaner first and then LG for the first time 2 weeks ago and after using the pre-cleaner the car looked awesome. I think it takes off a lot of microscopic junk from the paint. If you could swing it, I would do it. Or just do a clay bar, whichever is cheaper. I did clay bar first. But it was after the pre-cleaner the car looked so shiny! And then I think the LG adds a lot of protection to that shine and adds a bit more shine also.

I don't know about wall paint, my cabinets were stained with glossy finish, I used tsp and then wiped down with windex and my cabinets came out looking brand new.

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.

I would clean the wall with alcohol first then with a flat wood or plastic rubb it on the words as u have it on the wall.. on another piece I had to push really hard and finally it stayed.

What I usually do is take a big thick paint brush and dust it out as much as possible. I only use mine for white ingredients (flour, icing sugar) not cocoa learned my lesson on that. I also use a damp paper towel to get the underside clean. It can be a pain but the product is worth it.

Stuck it directly to the wall. There is also a video you can watch that helps. It was very easy to apply. Love mine.

This product works great. I would not recommend it for severely wet areas but for damp areas yes. I would recommend doing any necessary wall repair prior to application but other than that no prep is needed. I believe it only comes in white but ask your paint store if they can mix color in it. I use it like a primer and then paint my color over it.
