The oil paints and varnish materials are immediately disappeared, which in most cases are diluted with solvents. Such products will quickly destroy the separated coating. And for human health, they are not very safe.

To paint the wallpaper on a paper basis, it is better to use latex paints. These materials are characterized by:

• minimal surface destruction;
• the possibility of wet cleaning.

Latex paints are completely suitable for wallpaper made of fiberglass. Although any paintwork is suitable for glazes. The main thing is that painting does not lead to the deterioration of the characteristics of the treated surface. This is especially true when you need to paint the wallpaper on the ceiling.

For example, when using alkyd enamel on the surface, a solid and moisture-resistant film is created, which is characterized by increased wear resistance. The ceilings painted with this paintwork can be soaked with conventional detergents.

If the painting of wallpaper is made in the room where there is an increased humidity, it is recommended to use a special varnish. Using the formation of a protective film, the coating moisture resistance will improve, which can be washed with any cleaning agents. True, if the application of varnish is made on the water-emulsion paint, it is simply impossible to repent the paint wallpaper.

Depending on the type of surface being created, all the paints are divided into:

• matte;
• glossy.
