right, I've been painting my room, slowly, but one of the walls looks shit.

Its papered, and I painted on it, but the paper has sort of creased now, so it's not very good to look at.

The rest of the room is woodchipped, so, I'm thinking I might as well just do the last wall the same.

Trouble is, I've not painted it, and I dunno if it'll be ok?

Can I paper over painted wallpaper?

I put thin coats on Paul, Its because the wallpaper is thin and crap, the other 3 walls have been fine.

I cba to strip it, would mean buying scrapers and filling the holes where the plaster would come off with it.

the creases aren't that bad, just look crap because the wall should be flat, but it isnt.

PS - remove all the woodchip

Re skim, re paint.

If its a smooth wall could you not re paper over with lining paper then repaint?

fook off stripping woodchip off

I did that before in my brothers old house, was a nightmare job

the paper on there atm is about as thin as lining paper, so i reckon it'll be fine.

as for pics, I'll get some when its done, i took some before pics, but i dont know if i uploaded them from my cam :S
