Strip wallpaper without messing up the drywall? Paint is going on after paper is off. Crappy job but wife says I gotta do it

Ugh. I've heard hairdryer, but son of a bitch I haven't got the patience for that. I've read a couple other techniques but I can't remember what they are. Do some googling and try everything.

Best case scenario is it's a high quality paper-backed vinyl. Then you just peel the top layer of vinyl off and soak the paper backing with water to reactivate the glue. Once it loosens up either peel or scrape it off. Then wash the remaining glue residue off the wall.
There are also strippable vinyls that come off real easy but they're fairly rare and they're still dependent on the wall being properly prepped. From there it can only get worse. I've had a few nightmare scenarios such as one home where the builder installed the wallcovering over bare unprepped drywall with clay based glue. That shit was part of the wall, ended up having to paint over it which I hate doing. Best thing to do is just dig in and start trying too see what you can peel off by hand and then go from there. |

Looks like Thursday is the day.
would get this-they said use exterior paint because it gets cold here and the garage is not heated. Also, can I use this on the ceiling or do I need ceiling paint also?

Same product on the ceiling is fine. I'm not a fan of Behr paints though.

Oh fun, Double duty. no one else in the house at that time. It can be done with me alone-in small sections.
