I hope that helps. My sister is moving into a mobile home and we are trying to update it and make it more homey feeling. I think a new coat of paint would help a lot.
I really like your tip to use a paint with a primer in it. Hi Gina, I was just reading this thread and wanted to ask a question. I just purchased a dbl wide home whose interior has never been painted. All of the walls are white vinyl wall board with the exception of the kitchen which has a print. Taking your advice, I am thinking of using the Glidden 3 in 1 paint for the white walls.
Will one coat of that paint be enough or do you think I will need two coats? Also, because of the print in the kitchen, I am thinking of using a coat of the Glidden Gripper to cover the print and then a coat of the Glidden 3 in 1. What are your thoughts? Hey Kim, You may need to do an extra coat on the print in the kitchen. You will know if you need extra coats, but you should be fine with just the 3 in 1 for the whole project, good luck!
We recently purchased a 29 yr old mobile home on a lake. The vinyl wallpaper print is awful but in fairly good shape. After reading several blogs about painting the walls, my sister-in-law and I tackled the living room about 4 weeks ago.
We used Kilz as a primer and then good quality Valspar paint,,,everything covered very nicely. BUT,,,now the paint and the primer is peeling and chipping everywhere it is bumped!
I am so discouraged! Anyone have any suggestions? I have 5 more rooms to paint and do not want to start until I get this problem solved.
Also, there was questions about the glued on mirrors. We have the same on one end,,,they do not come off! I plan to cover them with a nice quality wood-like paneling. I know most people are trying to get RID of the paneling in their mobile home,,,but this is the only solution I have come up with to cover them up. Any suggestions that do not include scraping all the existing paint off will be greatly appreciated!
I used the Glidden 3 in 1, and have never had peeling issues. Do you know how I can find the paint? I have not been able to d the Glidden Performance 3 in 1 paint. Do you know of a similar brand that is just as good?
Or could you advise me where to find the Glidden 3 in 1? I have had great success with it , but there are other high quality brands that provide the 3 in one coverage too. I would just ask your local home improvement paint clerk who they recommend.
Will the paint work the same on paper wallpaper not the final but the paper in the older mobile homes? Hey Debra, Yes, it sure will, just make sure to use the best quality paint you can afford. Many thanks for this great painting advice! Have you done it? Your reply is greatly appreciated! They make so many good paints for metal now. I see that you mentioned the Glidden Performance Edge can be found at Home Depot, Lowes, or Wal-Mart however I am unable to find this specific line on any of their websites including my local store and online options.
How did you purchase yours? Hey Brooke, I actually received the paint from Glidden but at the time this was several years ago it was readily available at all of the places you mentioned. The most important thing is to use a primer and paint all in one product. There are so many great ones out there these days. I just purchased a mobile home, built in The first thing I want to do is paint, I believe the walls are vinyl, but they have all been painted over by the previous owners.
Do you think this will be good enough to paint with? Good luck!! I have found that Zinsser Primers are the best, it was recommended by a man who used to be a painter. When I asked him about Kilz, he said no, Zinsser was a far better option. I bought one of the high quality Zinsser Primer, which can be colored in whatever color you choose.
Gina, We are in the process of purchasing a park model and would like to re-paint the walls. Do you have any suggestions? Also do you prefer a flat or satin finish?? Thanks, Gena. You should be fine to paint over the current painted walls and use the best paint you can.
Hello, Love your information. Most of my walls in my mobile home, or modular home, like the real estate broker referred to them. HAHA, have been sheet-rocked.

If you use longer pieces and can lead to stretching the tape, resulting in paint possibly bleeding through your tape! Step 4 : Go ahead and tape of all of your surfaces; ceiling, door frames, floor trim, tile, etc.
Step 5 : When taping trim, you might have excess tape due to its width. You can use this to better protect your horizontal edges. Apply your edge of the tape to the trim as close to the wall as possible, and if you leave the extra tape sticking out like a roof overhang or gutter, it will catch any extra paint that falls, spills, or runs down the fall.
Step 6 : Run your finger over every section of tape to make sure that the tape is sealed on every surface. Step 7 : While you are taping, if you come to a corner, you should cut two strips of tape with a 45 degree-angle. Fit the two pieces properly together for safe and secure corners! Step 8 : Cover other areas you want to protect from being painted by laying down drop cloths, paper, or plastic. A more detailed guide for taping a room off before you begin painting mobile home walls can be found here.
Taping, even though it has many steps, is only one step in preparing a space for painting. Here are some other steps to get you ready! Step 1 : Remove furniture from the area you are painting. Besides the possibility of getting paint splatters on your furniture, leaving them in your room could also be dangerous. You can either move them out of the room, or if you have a bigger space, into the middle of the room. Step 2 : Lay down drop cloths to protect your floors.
Remember that we recommended reusable canvas drop cloths. They are sturdier and absorb paint so the likelihood of trailing paint through the rest of your mobile home is lessened. Try painting barefoot too. Then you know if you stepped in wet paint! Step 3 : Remove paintings, picture frames, and posters from your wall. It is easier and quicker to take them down than trying to paint around them.
Step 4 : Clean the walls with your sponge. Remember, only use a few drops of water mixed with a few drops of dish detergent. Step 5 : Fill small holes in your wall with your hole filler. Step 6 : Remove your light switch and electrical socket plates. Again, it is easier to take them than painting around them.
If you are also painting your ceiling, remember to remove lighting fixtures and fans. Step 7 : Tape up your room so that the surfaces you do not want painted will be protected.
Make sure not to accidently tape the walls you are painting, otherwise, you will have surprise round of peek-a-boo with your old wall color. Step 8 : The next thing to do that will really set your prep a grade above the rest…make a staging area! Set up space where you will store your open cans of paint, trays, brushes, rollers, etc.
Save time by not misplacing items and moving around to five different places just to pour some paint. Types of Paint. If your mobile home has ceramic tiles in any of the rooms, you can refresh them with a new coat of paint. Bob Vila says this is a lot less expensive than replacing the tiles, and paint adheres well to ceramic, natural stone, unglazed quarry tile and porcelain.
Choose a mildewproof latex epoxy paint for ceramic, unglazed quarry and porcelain. An acrylic latex paint designed for stucco or interior masonry is best for natural stone tiles.
Vinyl-on-gypsum VOG wall panels are probably the most common kind of interior mobile home walls, and MHVillage explains that these are made of drywall with sheets of vinyl applied to them. VOG seams are usually covered by plastic strips, which are called battens. When painting mobile home walls, you may want to keep the battens or remove them. Not everyone likes how they look, but removing them takes time and effort; doing this is optional.
Taping is the best option if you are texturing your manufactured home walls or if you prefer a smooth finish. Cover the floors and furniture with drop cloths. Clean the walls with a mild detergent or TSP solution and a rag. Go over each surface twice, then finish by wiping down with a fresh cloth dampened with clear water.
Once the walls have dried, use painter's tape to mask the edges along the trim, ceiling, and floor. If the walls have any kind of damage or holes from nails or screws, fill them with spackle and then sand smooth, following the manufacturer's directions. Again, make sure not to damage the vinyl coating on the wall panels when sanding. The vinyl surface of VOG panels will accept paint better if you first coat them with a good quality acrylic primer.
Applying primer is done like any painting job. Start by using an angled trim brush to cut in the primer along the edges of the wall, then apply the primer to the broad areas using a roller.
Two light coats are best. Make sure the primer dries fully between coats. After the primer is fully dry, apply one or two coats of high-quality acrylic latex paint. Again, use an angled trim brush first to cut in the edges , then use a roller to paint the large expanses.
If two coats are necessary, make sure the first coat dries fully before applying the second coat. Low sheen or flat paint bonds better than high-gloss and is less likely to show imperfections in the walls, but high-gloss paint is often recommended for bathrooms and kitchens, where the walls will need to be washed frequently.
Finish by removing painter's tape and folding up drop cloths.
