Thanks, Pippi! I knew, when I was trying to find out if I could paint the interior of my RV, when I saw your video! If anyone has "tried it" you are the "go-to-girl"! I am so grateful for your videos! Thank You!
Thanks again for an informative, enjoyable, encouraging video, Pippi. The new color is so pretty...you're going to love it every time you walk into the room. Take care!
Thanks for the tip. I have been thinking of painting my fifth wheel , working on the road I spend about 11 months of the year in my rig , and have been wanting to change things up a bit.. Thanks again !!
I painted over wallpaper once, and it looked horrible. Your project came out nice, though! The color looks bright and cheerful. Thanks for the tips about oil based primer. Happy Camping!
Couldn't have come at a better time! The previous owners of our rv painted over the wall paper and it looks like some of it the wall paper is starting to bubble and some of the paint is chipping off, so we have to retouch it up. Good to know about using oil based paint! Also, I'm looking forward to how you do your countertop, as I will be totally copying you! Our countertop looks almost identical to yours :)
Oil based paint is sooo much better than water based. It lasts forever. I do like water based paint for spraying with a paint gun because its easier and cheaper to clean up. Great video Pippi!!!!!
Great tip about the Oil based primer! Also about stirring periodically so the oil and primer will not separate. The blue is pretty but not nearly as your lovely smile! :)
Blue is my favorite color and your choice of color looks great. Now to see what else you have planned for your kitchen. I always enjoy watching your videos. Waiting for the next project you are about to start.
Your most welcome Pippi :D Just finished watching your "How to install an aluminum foil radar and solar reflector on your motorhome roof without falling off" LOL :-) You can tell me, Captain!!! I can keep a secret... :-) Secretly it is a large radio antenna, right? LOL Seriously Pippi, you did a beautiful job on the roof and I am so relieved you did not fall off sweetie...
Hey pippi. Next time ur at a Home Depot or lowes pick urself up a handy paint pail. They have plastic liners and a magnet to hold ur brush. U will love them. I bought one on Amazon! Thanks for the wonderful videos.
nicely done. Wallpaper in the cooking area of a RV is usually what we use to call "wallhide" it's a plastic surface type of paper that nothing seems to stick to and oh so important to clean well and use two coats of that oil primer. Oil paint would even be nice but so darn hard to find these days.
I hope we meet some day, I think that would be a very good thing. BTW, my channels are a very accurate depiction of who I am. I think you are amazing, I am soon to be on a road trip. any chance we can meet? If so PM me and maybe we can Skype, if you are willing. Cheers
Pippi, I really liked this video because I learned something important. The use of oil based primer. The timing was ideal because just yesterday I noticed some variations in my wall colors in my restored Airstream coach. So I was thinking of painting them. Im currently replacing my front air springs (bags) on my Aistream coach. Its a P 30 chassis. I think yours may be a P 30 chassis too. I will give a big plug for Air Lift. Customer service thats incredible and a no questions asked replacement warranty. Make you a deal. Come help me with the air bags ( very difficult) I will video you and I will help you with your next project. Ok, Im kinda kidding in an effort to get some free help. Lol. Keep up the great stuff. See you down the road. Jeff
Hi Pippi, thanks for all of your informative videos. We've found so many to be helpful. I'm going to be painting our motorhome walls (we have a Fleetwood Bounder 😁) and I wondered if you tried to save/not paint over any warning and exit stickers on the walls. For example, near our stove there's one about the importance of ventilation... Not sure of the legality of having those or if it's moot once it's "off the lot". Also wondered if you've heard of Gripper--another RVer recommended it as the primer layer. Thanks again!!
Thanks for this!! Great video! What did you clean the wallpaper with? I just want to know if the liquid is going to loosen The adhesive of the wallpaper. Don’t want any spots to start bubbling up or sagging after it’s been painted. Thanks!
Nice. What kind of paint did you use as the final color? it's there a specific paint to use so that is resistant to the grease and oil of cooking?? Thanks!
What primer do you use for RV panels? Mine look like they're plastic -based wallpaper over lauan panels. Does Benjamin Moore "Fresh Start" work on this stuff?
Hi Pippi ~ Interested in finding out how your paint held up all these months on the Marlite Board....We have a similar project to tackle ....any further suggestions would be appreciated...Thank You..
Hi Pippi,,, I know this is an old video but do you have any ideas for the ceiling? we bought an older Class A and it had a lot of water damage and staining on the ceiling. We have repaired the leak and now need to do the ceiling. It has the fuzzy short fur kinda stuff that used to be light gray or white. I am considering using a paint but not sure what kind.
Hello, I know this is an old video but I'm looking at painting over some old wallpaper I have on one wall in my kitchen. Can you tell me did you use a low odor oil based primer and if not did you find it very smelly using the regular primer in a small space like your RV? I'm wondering if it's worth the extra expense to purchase a low odor oil based primer for my project. Thanks for mentioning the sanding too, I have one small area that has a tear in the paper. Not looking for perfection just a fresh wall! Thanks.
beauty and brains can be dangerous in the wrongs hands, but in the right hands a sweetheart can inspire people to move mountains...sort of.....after a 6 week search I bought an rv yesterday to move into when my lease is up this summer....23ft of freedom
Hi Pippi!! Love your videos-thanks. Do you have any advice or experience about painting over wooden cupboards? I love the shabby chic distressed look, but I'm a complete novice!!
+4hisglory365 I'd love to paint over mine. The RV cabinets have a plastic overlay and the doors are wood so it'll be a couple different processes for me. I recommend googling it to find just what you need. Best of luck!
Looking Good.. I was considering Painting around my Dinette .. Now I think I actually will.. Did you use Oil based Paint as well?? or just Oil based primer?
I've been a home building and remodeling professional most of my life and I never recommend painting over wall paper. Granted, for the home owner/do it yourselfer it is a cheaper option. But it always looks cheap when it's done because the surface of the wall paper will never be the same as a finished wall. There are methods for removing wall paper from wood walls such as steaming or using a warm, wet cloth. You just have to be sure you don't over saturate the surface.
TheRooibosSuite I used one of the more expensive ones. Not Ralph Lauren expensive but not the cheap kind. The finish is the middle option and it's interior paint :)
Great job.. but I am surprised you did not tile it. You seem to be able to do a lot of different things and tile always looks great for a backsplash.. But that is not saying anything is wrong with what you did ... again great job...
Wally Bermudez Depending on what it looks like, you can always sand down really well where the seams are, use a couple coats of primer to even it out a bit, then paint. Best of luck!
Sorry Pippi .... you must be getting your info from the clerks at the big box stores. latex primers like Zinsser 123 out perform the oil base primers on most applications.
BOS'N Not so sure she is wrong on the oil based primer. I recently remodeled my kitchen at home, stripped wallpaper off that had been up nearly 30 years, and it left residue from the glue. After several washings with a solution of wall paper stripper and Dawn dish soap, the glue still remained. I consulted a professional house painter for advice. He said to let it dry, then lightly hand sand the walls and apply one or two coats of oil based primer. The oil based primer seals in the residual adhesive, allowing you to paint over it. Water based primer will just reactivate the glue, leaving a lumpy painted mess. You can use oil based primer to prep walls that have water and mold damage also. It will seal the wall making it ready to paint. My kitchen walls look wonderful, and not one speck of that wall paper adhesive has shown through.
+Nicholas Maietta Really what kind were you able to get? Here in LA they're all gone. I use to use Kilz all of the time, and that's gone now except for the spray can.
+Nicholas Maietta You're blowing my mind! Down here "all oils" anything, deck stain, primer, paint everything has been gone for years! I painted murals for twenty years, and all of the stores down here don't have any oils, all of the guys in the stores said they were going to be removed state-wide. I got into a situation where I had to have oil for the base boards in my place (not going to sand them down, you know), I happen to be down in Palm Springs and was able to buy their last two quarts they had.
+Vinni Arce Sure, it'd probably be more expensive on a bigger area but for a trailer it could do. It might smell stronger than regular paint and you'll have to do a better job of covering everything else in the surrounding area you don't want dusted with the paint. You'll have to watch more carefully to get an even covering over the surface, too. Best of luck!
Ok , I call fake ! You don't really live " full time" in an RV . I think you have some other home . And with your good looks , why would you live like this ? Sorry , I'm just skeptical about the whole thing .It looks to good to be true.
Thanks, Pippi! I knew, when I was trying to find out if I could paint the interior of my RV, when I saw your video! If anyone has "tried it" you are the "go-to-girl"! I am so grateful for your videos! Thank You!
I miss that old RV Girl. We learned a lot on project on that Rig. Glad you have the Fifth-wheel now and the New Truck.
Thanks again for an informative, enjoyable, encouraging video, Pippi. The new color is so pretty...you're going to love it every time you walk into the room. Take care!
Dinah Rogers Thanks Dinah :) Wait tol you see the counter!
Is it done? Do you have a video to post? :-)
There is no stopping you Ms Pippi good job and information on the paint. Wil
Wil Reyes Thanks Wil! :)
Thanks for the tip. I have been thinking of painting my fifth wheel , working on the road I spend about 11 months of the year in my rig , and have been wanting to change things up a bit.. Thanks again !!
+John Hill Best of luck. I'd love to see pics. You can post them to Pippenings.com if you want to share :)
Great and very helpful video. Love the color choice too.
Hi Pippi..nice to see your smile again..great job..
DAVID CONKLIN Thanks David :)
I painted over wallpaper once, and it looked horrible.
Your project came out nice, though! The color looks bright and cheerful.
Thanks for the tips about oil based primer.

Looks much better than before.
I Agree Lydia
SimplyRVing Thanks, I agree! :) Stay tuned for the rest of the kitchen reno :)

Awesome video Pippi, keep em coming!
Tommy TwoGun Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Panting my Rv this weekend glad i saw this. Definitely buying the oil based primer 1st.
nicely done. Wallpaper in the cooking area of a RV is usually what we use to call "wallhide" it's a plastic surface type of paper that nothing seems to stick to and oh so important to clean well and use two coats of that oil primer. Oil paint would even be nice but so darn hard to find these days.
Now that's a color you could live with.
Paula Dion Thanks, I like it too :)
Looking great Pippi,
Rusty Nail Thanks Rusty :)
Looking good Pippi!
David Clark Thanks! :)
Nicely done. They make a cup to pour your paint in so you don't have to use the can. Makes for less of a mess
All said like a factory rep for Kilz! It's all true and correct.
watched your video and it helped us in repainting our '98 Fleetwood bounder this week. thanks for tips on using oil base paint versus water base.
Sweet. That's what I needed to do - oil base over wallpaper.
georgemcclurelive Awesome, best of luck!
Love your enthusiasm! BTW remove the painter's tape before the paint dries. dried paint eill stick to the tape & may lift the paint at the tape edges.
Hey the wallpaper is showing through...hehehe,,,looking good pippi,pretty soon youll have a new rv.
Just adorable.
Cheers
I hope we meet some day, I think that would be a very good thing. BTW, my channels are a very accurate depiction of who I am.
I think you are amazing, I am soon to be on a road trip. any chance we can meet? If so PM me and maybe we can Skype, if you are willing.
Cheers
Woo hoo! It's going to look great.
Lil House On The Highway Thanks!
Great job, once you start with oil base stick with it, especially around cooking areas.
We used an all in one primer and paint. We went with a earth tone color of tan that fits with the rest of the colors of our RV. great video!!!
Aron Jemison Thanks for sharing! :)
Pippi,
I really liked this video because I learned something important. The use of oil based primer. The timing was ideal because just yesterday I noticed some variations in my wall colors in my restored Airstream coach. So I was thinking of painting them. Im currently replacing my front air springs (bags) on my Aistream coach. Its a P 30 chassis. I think yours may be a P 30 chassis too. I will give a big plug for Air Lift. Customer service thats incredible and a no questions asked replacement warranty.
Make you a deal. Come help me with the air bags ( very difficult) I will video you and I will help you with your next project.
Ok, Im kinda kidding in an effort to get some free help. Lol.
Keep up the great stuff. See you down the road.

I don't know about the legalities of those stickers. If you can save them I would. Best of luck! :D
Thanks for this!! Great video! What did you clean the wallpaper with? I just want to know if the liquid is going to loosen The adhesive of the wallpaper. Don’t want any spots to start bubbling up or sagging after it’s been painted. Thanks!
Soap and water if I recall correctly. If you have paper that is removable you should do so. This was stuck to thin wood and would not come off.
Nice video & great job. When are you going to design an RV from stem to stern? I know, that's probably on your bucket list of things to do.
Skip Hedgepath It's crossed my mind that's for sure!
Nice. What kind of paint did you use as the final color? it's there a specific paint to use so that is resistant to the grease and oil of cooking?? Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks.
Wipe it down w/ thiner ( or such ) 1st . Good job . It so fun 2 c U have fun while doin yr tips , thanx . Much luk n bless
Just a thought. The Window Trim is Easy to Remove for Painting. Good Luck.

I didn't use a low odor. It clears out after a while, especially if it's warm and dry outside.

Looking Good.. I was considering Painting around my Dinette .. Now I think I actually will.. Did you use Oil based Paint as well?? or just Oil based primer?
RV4LIF3 Just oil based primer. It's hard to get oil based paint nowadays. It's illegal in CA, I hear, too!
prior to paintings what product did you use to clean the wallpaper with? thanks in advance I am so excited to give my new motorhome an updated look!
+Tracy Brown Baking soda and water ;)
+Pippi Peterson thank you good to know!
did you use a water based paint over the oil based primer?
I've been a home building and remodeling professional most of my life and I never recommend painting over wall paper. Granted, for the home owner/do it yourselfer it is a cheaper option.

mortal4life Thanks.
What kind of paint did you use for the top coat? Oil like the primer? Or latex water based? Thanks.
+Dennis Goebelt Latex. It's getting harder and harder to get oil paint
Hi Pippi
Just wanted to ask a few questions. What brand of paint did you use? What is the finish? And finally is that interior or exterior. paint?
TheRooibosSuite I used one of the more expensive ones. Not Ralph Lauren expensive but not the cheap kind. The finish is the middle option and it's interior paint :)
Any idea how to paint the wallpaper in the shower?
Great job.. but I am surprised you did not tile it. You seem to be able to do a lot of different things and tile always looks great for a backsplash..
But that is not saying anything is wrong with what you did ... again great job...
J Doe It's still an idea, but it would add much more weight. My new countertop added a bit of weight alone. Stay tuned for that! :)
You should pull the tape before the paint is completely dry because the paint is less likely to come off with the tape.
Hello can you please tell me if the color paint you used was oil base as well? Thank you.
No it wasn't oil based. In most states you can get oil based any more.
Making it your own!
Wish I had seen this video before repainting my entire RV with water-based primer! :(. Yes the paint is peeling off now
+Gwen McLeod Oh no. Sorry to hear :(
cute color :)
***** Thanks
I was wondering about that (wall paper) what if some wall paper was ripped off but the rest wont come off?
Wally Bermudez Depending on what it looks like, you can always sand down really well where the seams are, use a couple coats of primer to even it out a bit, then paint. Best of luck!
Thanks
Did you use a latex or oil paint over the oil primer?
+Kim Stockie Latex. It's hard to find oil based any more. Several states outlawed it.
Hi Pippi, can I use a latex paint over the oil based primer?
+0326sassy Yes you can. In fact you may be hard pressed to find oil based paint nowadays.
excellent...thanks
Pluto Believer Thank you!
Sorry Pippi .... you must be getting your info from the clerks at the big box stores. latex primers like Zinsser 123 out perform the oil base primers on most applications.

+debmarie55 ...I'm curious, do I have to use an oil-based paint over the oil based primer or can I just use latex paint?
Hello from Russia !
Крымчанин Zdrastvui :)
Pippi Peterson ))) !!!
is it same procedure in a house?
Pauls POV Indeed! :D
Very helpful, thanks. Next time I hope you use a better color in your kitchen. Any shade of blue in a small kitchen makes food look sickly.
I love it, my food looks delicious to me!
GREAT ,THANK U
+Becky S. Thanks!
No oil paints or primers available in California anymore.
+Nicholas Maietta Really what kind were you able to get? Here in LA they're all gone. I use to use Kilz all of the time, and that's gone now except for the spray can.

+Nicholas Maietta The thing to look for are the regular trim (style) oil paints, thanks cheers man!
can i paint with can of spray?
+Vinni Arce Sure, it'd probably be more expensive on a bigger area but for a trailer it could do. It might smell stronger than regular paint and you'll have to do a better job of covering everything else in the surrounding area you don't want dusted with the paint.

Ok. Thank you so much👍😊
Hi Pippi. I happen to know a real nice, attractive and intelligent Canadian man who would LOVE to give you free healthcare. 🇨🇦🤞
You should always remove the tape while the paint is still wet
Yay!! :0)
There is such a thing as wallpaper stripper but painting over wallpaper is fine.
nice
eugene glenn Thanks
Girl u should start your own business, buying old RV's and renovating them for a profit, lol
Dang your smart
You are stunningly beautiful
"delamination"
I thought you really painting but you're not painting anything I thought everything was real
q
I just found a new reason not to go to work.
Very unsafe--no mention of ventilation, gloves or other protections while working in the enclosed space using an oil-based product.
Come. And do my kitchen.... I'll wash you while you are doing it...
Ok , I call fake ! You don't really live " full time" in an RV . I think you have
some other home . And with your good looks , why would you live like this ?
Sorry , I'm just skeptical about the whole thing .It looks to good to be true.
