Coverstain is the best primer, its stinky but locks the shit in and kicks ass. I also like using polar bear roller naps. They are great. Now remember OP and any others who will be painting, take masking tape and tape your roller nap then peel it to get any loose fuzz off so you wont get that shit in your paint

And FFS, don't paint over wallpaper unless there is absolutely no way in hell of getting it off. I've probably done at least 100 wallpaper removal jobs, and only twice did I have to go that route.

The only way I do that is if me and my dad who owns his painting business, if the customer doesnt want to pay for removal

By the time I **** around with priming with oil and spend all the time hiding the seams and other shit they won't save that much with me. And if they're happy with it looking like shit they may as well paint it themselves.

Well it takes no time for us to prime it and lightly skim any needed areas. Usually the seams are so tight we dont have to. Its actually an easy process

If whoever put it up did a good job it definitely helps. I just don't like dealing with oil base paint. You're going to pay a premium if you want me to mess with that crap.

use a paper tiger and warm water in a spray bottle.

if it's real bad you may have to rent a steam box.

If the walls have a bad stain on them will Coverstain hide it so the paint ends up having an even hue and brightness to it? Or do I get out the Kilz?

killz should do it, especially the oil based killz

even the water based one will work from my experience tho

I've never used Coverstain but I'd imagine it's pretty much the same thing as Kilz. Anything oil-based will seal that stain.

No Kilz is water based. All Kilz that Ive seen. Through my different use of primers, coverstain is the best blocking primer

Original Kilz is oil-based. Kilz2 is semi-acryilic but for all practical purposes it's water-based, and actually works quite well for many applications.
