Title: Painted over textured wallpaper
Post by pault on Dec 12^th, 2007, 7:36pm

Hi all

Need to repaint a property which we rent out ASAP. The walls are coverd in textured patterned wallapaper :'(which is about 2/3mm thick in parts. I tried paintin it today with roller and paint brush and it was taking forever with the brush and the roller wasnt getting the paint to the low parts.

Any suggestions as to what type of brush/roller to use to speed up the job.

Thanks in advance

Paul ::)

Roller should have long pile/sheepskin for textured walls.
