Peel-and-stick wallpapers are not suitable for freshly painted walls. Paints have solvents which off-gas when curing, releasing VOCs which will dissolve the adhesive used in the wallpaper. This will cause product failure. Paints cure from the outside in. This means they can be dry to the touch but still uncured. We recommend waiting a minimum of 8 weeks prior to applying wallpaper on a painted wall. The wallpaper will take on the underlying texture of the wall. This means that on textured walls, repositionability will be negatively affected. Highly textured walls with sharp points will warp the vinyl film and prevent optimal adhesion.
