Hi - posted a few times about a year ago and everyone was really helpful with advice so back for some more! Have just finished having extension built and now loads of decorating to do. In one room am planning to have wallpaper on 'feature' wall - as walls in the old part are not great was going to cross line. Previously used 1000 (I think!) grade lining paper in other parts of house and once I got used to it, it was fine. As I'm papering on top presumably would be okay to use lighter weight lining paper?
Second question! - have lots of exposed pipework from new rads and would like them to blend it as much as poss with painted walls. Should I paint first with metal primer/undercoat (can you get a combined one) and then use same emulsion as on walls or would I need oil based top coat, eg satinwood.
Would appreciate any advice - many thanks Ronnie

satinwood etc. won`t need a prime or u/c. just degrease with white spirit on rag and then dry rag
