Painting over a $1200 metallic finish 😱👀 #toolsinaction #cooltools #sander #painter #newfinish

What happens here

Begin the wall preparation by removing any existing wallpaper. As demonstrated at the beginning of the video, this often involves peeling the wallpaper directly from the wall. Start at a loose edge or seam and pull gently but firmly. For areas where the wallpaper is particularly stubborn, you may need to use a wallpaper steamer or a chemical stripper (not explicitly shown in the video but common DIY practice) to loosen the adhesive. Ensure all wallpaper layers and remnants of adhesive are removed to expose the bare wall surface, ready for sanding.

Goal: Thoroughly remove all wallpaper from the wall surface.
