Expert: Tim Hoeffel - 12/1/2008

Question
I have a 1998 mobile home. I would like to know if I can paint my walls? My kitchen & bathroom's walls look like wallpaper but I think the print is made in the sheet rock. If I can paint what kind do I need to use and do I need  to put something on it before painting?
Thank you,
Brenda

Answer
Hi Brenda,
Thanks for stopping in.

I am quite sure you can paint your walls. Make sure they are clean then use an oil base primer like Cover Stain from Zinsser. It will take care of most problems. You can get it at Home Depot. Once that is on you can paint with anything you want.

Hope that helps,

Tim Hoeffel
