Explanation: Painting over wallpaper is generally not advisable for several reasons: Adhesion Issues: Wallpaper is often non-porous or has a smooth surface, which can make it difficult for paint to adhere properly. This can lead to peeling, bubbling, or cracking of the paint over time. Uneven Surface: Wallpaper seams, textures, and patterns can show through the paint, resulting in an uneven finish. This can be particularly noticeable with textured or embossed wallpapers. Moisture Trapping: Painting over wallpaper can trap moisture between the wallpaper and paint layers, leading to mold and mildew growth over time. Removal Difficulty: If you decide to remove the wallpaper in the future, painting over it can make the removal process more challenging and time-consuming. The paint can seal the wallpaper to the wall, making it harder to strip off cleanly. Overall, it's usually best to remove wallpaper before painting to ensure a smooth and durable finish. If removal is not feasible, proper surface preparation, such as priming with a high-quality primer designed for covering wallpaper, may help improve paint adhesion. However, even with proper preparation, painting over wallpaper is still not ideal and may not result in a satisfactory outcome in the long run.
