Painting Vinyl Walls in Mobile Home?

I just moved into a mobile home and I would like to know if it is possible to paint over the vinyl walls. I was thinking of doing the sponge painting on some of the walls. Has anyone done this? Also can I repaint the cabinets?

Yes! Yes! This can be done and looks beautiful. Throughly clean the vinyl. Invest in a Good adhesive primer. I used the Sherwin Williams Adheision brand, however talk with your local paint store specialist and see what they recommend. I would not use a common latex primer (kilz) no matter what is suggested..lol. It will tend to not cover as uniformly and not adhere to the vinyl as well. Otherwise Kilz is a good product.

I also took down the mobile-home-wall-strips and used a whipped putty to fill the seams and any gaps. Plus you don't have to sand it, just use a wet rag and wipe it smooth.

Call the manufacturer of the mobile home or go to your local Benjamin Moore paint store or web site for help. Good luck.

Krylon makes a paint for plastic, I would try that for your sponging.

I used regular latex paint from Wal Mart; but did make sure to use a good primer first (Kilz). The paint has held up very well for 10 years, some flat, some gloss, some rolled on, some sponged on (using wadded up Wal Mart sacks instead of a sponge).
