You will see any lines show through on the wallpaper...if and when you need to take the paper down, it is going to be a lot harder...because water/liquid is put on wallpaper to remove it, when you start painting the paper, is probably will bubble up, peel off......you can use a primer, but the same thing will happen just as I mentioned for the paint...i have wallpapered for 30 yrs...
It will likely show the crease where the wall paper meets up or over laps. If that doesn't bother you, then you can cover the wall paper with paint, and it will just appear as though it's a different type of wall paper.
Technically you can, but it will not look right. Certainly a saturated color will cover better, but it will look like painted wallpaper, not a painted wall.
It's not a good idea, it's hard to remove it but will be worth it in the end. There is a special chemical you can buy to make it easier.
you will see stripes from the wallpaper through the paint, and after you paint it, taking the paper off will be 3X as hard.
So in my bedroom there's wallpaper and it's all over the 4 walls. It has a white background with flowers on it. And I wanna paint it a different color and do one wall chalkboard paint. Could a turquoise color paint work over the wallpaper? and what about chalkboard paint? Because removing the wallpaper is tedious and expensive
