What would be the correct procedure for lining over soft sheen paint?Light sand then size or cheap waterbased primer/undercoat then size.
Thanks
 
I would give it a light sand and then apply full fat Solvite (mix your own) paste to both the wall and paper simultaneously (it helps to make sure that you don't have any dry spots).

I use a medium nap roller to apply the paste and a vinyl smoother to remove air bubbles.

eg


All should be ok provided that the paint was applied properly in the first place.
