The choice of paint for painting is necessary, given the fact that it will perform not only a reliable protective function, but also a decorative one. For different surfaces of wallpaper, a certain type of paint is used, depending on the chemical composition.
In order for the paint to have an attractive appearance and to lay well, it is necessary to take into account some parameters:
• Resistance to mechanical and sunlight

• Coverage of the applied layer.
Based on such criteria and knowledge of existing types of paint, you can choose.
Types of paints for wallpaper
Paint paint for wallpaper is divided into the following types:
• Acrylic (water-based)
• latex (water-dispersive)
• polyvinyl acetate.
The most common type of paint for wallpaper is acrylic paint. Due to increased resistance to abrasion and moisture resistance, as well as a rich assortment of colors, the acrylic paint base allows using it in rooms with high humidity.
It is preferable to use the paint on latex paint. What is attractive latex paint? The main advantage of latex paint is a good moisture resistance and an attractive matte surface. When painting latex paint is distributed on the surface of the texture layer of wallpaper evenly, creating a thin, but very strong film. Latex paint colors for wallpaper are divided into matte and glossy.
Polyvinyl acetate paint (PVA) for wallpaper is cheap. However, this is not an indication of a high-quality and reliable wallpaper coating.
All water-based paints and waterborne paint paints can be considered an economical and profitable use. The paint dries quickly and does not have an unpleasant smell, and also hangs well on the wallpaper.
For what types of wallpaper paint is used
Characteristics of the paint base - wallpaper is fundamental. One type of paint, for example, latex paint, can be confidently used for painting.
For all paper you can use acrylic and latex paint for painting. The principle of applying the paint and the dyeing technology is carried out in a traditional way: the paint is applied to the dry surface of the wallpaper with a roller.
Painting non-woven The wallpaper is produced exclusively by latex (water-dispersion) paint. There are several ways to paint the wallpaper - from the outside immediately after attaching the non-woven wallpaper and the inner.
Painting vinyl wallpaper is made with latex acrylic paint. If the vinyl wallpaper has a non-woven base, it is possible to paint the wallpaper with water-based paint.
The most "patient" can be considered glass cloth or fiberglass wallpaper, they withstand any kind of paint for a long time and a certain amount of staining, laid down by the technology.
For structural and relief wallpapers it is recommended to use water-dispersion paint. In this case the paint is applied with the roller several times. To decorate the texture, use a special structural roller, with which only the protruding relief of the pattern on the wall is stained.
How to paint your own hands
To paint wallpaper by yourself, we recommend using the following tools:
• roller with long pile
• a working cuvette for rolling the roller and wringing excess paint
• Flat brushes up to 7 cm wide.
• Scotch tape with magnetized film.
wallpaper preparation
Painting work is recommended to be done after all repair and finishing works, including the laying of flooring. For quick and high-quality painting of the wallpaper, you need to remove the skirting boards and door trim. High-quality paint for wallpaper from the manufacturer can cover the work surface for one repainting. However, to achieve a qualitative result, the paint must be produced twice.
painting process
Before painting, read the instructions for using the ink printed on the package or jar. Open the jar with paint and stir the contents of the mixer until smooth. Pour part of the paint for painting into a cuvette. Initially, a flat brush is applied to the lower and upper parts of the walls or ceiling.
Paint also the corners of the walls. Dip the roller into the paint, roll it out and remove excess paint. It is not recommended to immerse the roller completely in paint. First, we dip one side of the platen by 2 cm, turn it over the other side and dip again.
The grate surface of the cuvette with the paint allows rolling the roller to uniform saturation with the paint of the entire surface. Raskatku paint on the roller is recommended to produce every time, seeing that the roller is already out of paint. For painting the ceiling wallpaper, it is better to use a roller with a telescopic handle.
The walls are painted from one corner to the other, from the top to the bottom and in the reverse order. It is recommended to apply one coat of paint at once, because the paint dries quickly on the wallpaper. The best option for painting the wallpaper on the walls is to work together. In this case, one paints the corners of the working surface, and the second person paints the overall working space with the roller. Therefore, the painting must be done quickly, without stopping and without making passes. Finish the painting if the wall from corner to corner is completely painted.
