We have recently removed some wall paper from our living room walls which leaves behind what I'm assuming is backing paper as it's a little furry to touch. There is a thin layer of lining paper underneath the backing paper if it's pealed away.
My question is can I paint over the backing paper? or do I need to prepare it in any way? I have pasted down the lifted edges and as it stands the backing paper gives the walls a even finish. I know if I remove the backing paper and lining paper the walls will need prep etc (1950's house)
We want to have a painted finish on the walls but know the plaster will need alot of work to get it smooth and even to paint.
Please can someone provide some recommendations...
Thanx in advance
