When I remove wallpaper there is only bare drywall can I just paint it?
YOu must prime it first. Drywall is very thirsty and the paint will just get sucked right into the drywall. YOu will spend a lot of money of paint that way. It’s better economically and it will make for a better , longer lasting paint job if you prime first. If youare going to paint a darker color, be sure you tint the primer too. They can do this for you at the paint store. It is well worth it.
