Paint over wall paper and on cabinets?
I would like to paint my walls and cabinets. Have done some research online but nothing compares to getting advice from someone who's actually done it. Anyone here paint their cabinets or interior?

There are only two ways a paint can stick over a substrate.
1 a chemical bond, meaning it melts in to the substrate or previous finish to get a hold, or
2 a mechanical bond, meaning you sand the substrate to leave fine scratch marks for the paint to adhere to.
Yes a good primer will help over any surface.
Yes you can paint over stained wood.
They do make a paint specifically for going over a non porous surface, such as Formica. It would probably work well over the fake vinyl wood grain used in trailers, but I would take the advice of someone who has had good results.
Good luck.
