Get away with lining this?

I'd try heavy lining paper first- do a roll (cost £5 for 5 sq m and a couple of hours) and see how it goes. Plan B would be the super duper stuff at £1.80/sq m

Cheers mate. I'm thinking I'll try the Wallrock stuff on one wall and see how I go.

Ha! No, but I'm considered asking them for commission! It is good stuff though - I like the way it is impossible to tear and being non-woven, it doesn't stretch or shrink like ordinary lining paper. I'm all in favour of decorating materials which stay where you put them and behave themselves. (Can you tell I used to be a teacher?)

Haha

I've ordered a sample of Wallrock Premium so see how it goes. I'm still not convinced it will hide the outline of the old paint. Logically it doesn't make sense to me. But I'm all for trying.

The Premium is not bad paper and certainly better than bog standard lining paper (which lives up to this description, in some cases). It's got quite a silky finish. But the 180 is tougher and thicker and looks nice painted IMHO.
