I want to paint and block-print this paper before installing over a painted drywall wall. Would that work? What kind of paint would be best?

No, I do not believe that is possible since you have to wet the paper when you hang it.

I am not sure it would work to pre-paint it. when my husband installed this paper, he filled the bathtub with water and dunked in the paper. mthen he folded it, let it drain a little and carried it to the wall he was palcing it on. I believe if you pre-painted it, your paint would run during that process.

Apparently L. M. Brown was able to do this, but in general I agree with the others who responded that it would be difficult to get the paper wet enough to activate the paste without damaging the new paint and printing. You also have to do a certain amount of hand-adjustments after the paper's on the wall, which could also damage the painted surface. I mean, it's possible, of course, but wouldn't it be easier to paint it and block print it afterward? By the way, when you get it on the wall wet it will probably look as if it's not going to flatten out, but a day later it had.

not sure paper would hold up.paper is thin and paint might soak thru easily and not be able to hang properly

I don't really know, it installed nice, I did notice a smidge shrinkage. Cool idea to paint first though, I would think any wall paint would work, let try throughly and overlap a smidge to make up for any shrinkage. i would try a sample first cut 6" from end paint and let dry then attach to a sample board. Good luck

Hi Nila,I would not recommend painting first. Since the liner is pre-pasted, you have to submerse it in water to activate the glue. Hope this helps.

Any ink or paint would have to be non water soluble. the paper that came from Amazon had to be soaked in water to apply. I would apply the paper then paint or block print on that, I'[m pretty sure that would work.

I believe you can, though I never tried it. If you are concerned about the removing part, it should be no problem, and it is sticky enough to stick to the wall. I never printed on this paper so I can't answer that part. The texture is similar to copy paper, so I am guessing it should be ok.

I'm not sure, but probably so. I put it over plasted walls that had some cracks and the outcome is beautiful. I would definitely give it a try, especially if the existing paper is intact.

I installed it in my counseling office with painters tape as I knew it wouldn't be a perminent piece. Not sure how one would go about really installing it as wall paper...

If you are projecting on the wall anyway, paint it. If you were to buy a paint kit for a projector wall or have a professional do it the standard is to us a metalic silver for a base coat or prrimer, then cover that with white wall paint. This will provide a fantastic surface that will rival any screen. I should note that this doesn't work as well if your wall is textured.

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.

Using drywall compound will be much more easier to fill in your wood panel corner, then you can just paint over it. The plastic wood is a little hard to use, therefore should be use in cabinets or other wood material where drywall compound will not work.

Well, i built a simple wood frame, but you could just as easily screw the material into the wall at the studs, and you can always patch the holes up with spackling when you move. Then use that 4 inch 1mm black felt tape around the borders. I like the tape. It finishes it ff nice and helps square up the picture. JVCC-felt06 is what I used.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are asking. Are you asking if you can paint this on over vinyl siding? This should be applied directly to a clean, smooth concrete block or poured concrete wall.

don't know if i'd use glue and paper on a wall. try using some good double face tape.

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.

I wouldn't put it on drywall. It will definitely pull the paper off the wallboard if you ever try to remove it.

Seeing the pictures, I will say to cancel the drywall compound. I thought the wood panel was white.You can purchase the plastic wood instead.Remember, get a good 3M breathing mask and some sanding paper.Good luck.

I'm not sure if that would work? If you decide to try it I would put spray adhesive down also. but overall the paper it's really nice.

Hello, Steve...I would not recommend this product for that use. I think this job needs a stronger product like Weld Bond or Tacky Glue that comes in several kinds: Clear Gel, Original, Extra Hold, etc. my first choice for wallpaper would be Weld Bond. You could build a house with this adhesive. Hope this helps. Have a great Monday....Linda

Depends on how rough. maybe lightly sand it if its real rough, but if not, go ahead and put on the plywood. I used it to put over comic book pages that was glued on the wall and then painted the wall. It looked fine.

I tried a test using a photo with some serious black in the background. On plain paper it turned out as I expected, a bit gray. When I need really pure color I use photo quality matte coated inkjet paper. The black really snapped! This is the way I've always done it whether with an Epson or H/P. You just can't get past the porousness of plain paper - and I've tried many, many types and brands.Ted Spencer
