Of the variety of types of wall decoration, the most popular is to stick wallpaper with their subsequent staining. Previously, this method was not in demand, but in recent years, many new technologies were invented, innovative coloring compositions and coloring methods were developed.

Tools necessary for painting wallpaper

In order to paint the wallpaper, it will take a small painting arsenal:

• Painting rollers. They are foam and darous. Porolone rollers are stained with smooth surfaces, and darned - corrugated. Both of these types of painting tools make it possible to achieve an excellent result.

• Paint brushes. This tool is needed in order to pronounce hard-to-reach places in which you can not penetrate the roller. These may be corners or line along the baguette. It is very important to learn how to choose high-quality brushes. It will not be very good if the bristle will begin to fall out and stick to the wrapping surface of the wallpaper. Therefore, before you buy a brush, you need to shoot it slightly for the pile, and if it remains in the fingers - not to buy, but to continue the search.

• Cuvette. It looks like a bath, in which there is a dye recess and the ribbed surface for impregnation of a roller paint by rolling. It is necessary to impregnate the paint roller with a special care and as much as possible, it depends on how painted wallpaper will look like.

Paint for painting wallpaper

To paint wallpaper, special paints that have a certain composition and properties will be required. They are resistant to sunlight and difficult, and some varieties are withstanding the washing with the use of weakly alkaline solutions.

Modern dyes for wallpapers are able to create high-quality coating on all types of wallpaper, from paper and flieslinic to glass. Moreover, their structure is preserved in pristine form.

For painting wallpapers, all dyes having an acrylic or water-level basis are suitable. All other types of paints should not be applied in this case.

Dyes for wallpaper are two types:

• matte;
• glossy.

The choice depends on the individual preferences, but if they are combined, you can get very interesting solutions.

Before you begin painting wallpapers, you need to take care that their surface is cleaned from dust, fatty spots and other contaminants. If necessary, the shade of the dye can be adjusted or changed using a koller.

• The first method is suitable for all types of wallpaper under painting. They are glued and dried for two days. Next, they take any of the dyes having a water base and apply evenly to the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe wallpaper using a valley roller. In this case, the length of its pile should exceed the depth of the structure of the wallpaper pattern. Then the paint will evenly fall to the lower level of the canvas, and on its convex part. This method is the easiest, fast and universal.

• The second method is also applicable for any type of wallpaper. On the painted first way, the surface after drying is repeatedly applied, but the roller is now used by velor. Due to this, the paint does not reach the lower level of the canvas and remains only on the convex parts. Due to this, the upper and bottom layer of the surface of the wallpaper has a different shade. Using this method, you can combine not only the paint of different colors, but also of different quality, such as matte and glossy. It turns out a very interesting effect.
• The third method is suitable for painting vinyl wallpapers on a fliesline basis. This method is quite complicated and requires serious labor and time.

Before you begin to stick, you need to dry the paint well. Wallpaper glue must be tested in advance by sticking a trial fragment of wallpaper. If the dye is too thick on them, the glue for flieslinic wallpaper can not hold them. In this case, you will have to use glue for vinyl wallpaper. It must be borne in mind that the paint has just been darked with a darker dry.

• The fifth method is used for all types of wallpaper. The dye is applied to the wall and glued wallpaper on top. In this case, the glue dissolves a certain amount of paint, after which it absorbs the basis, toning it. But when using this method, it is never possible to accurately foresee how uniform paint hesitates the basis. The wall can imagine it in different places in different numbers, and then the wallpaper will be covered with spots that may have to be painted.
