Has anyone tried this as kitchen backsplash? it really needs to be washable and I have hard time believing a paintable wallpaper can be washed.

It's washable as in light water and sponge if it got a little dirty. Would certainly not use as a backsplash.

There are vinyl anaglypta papers...You could paint it with semi gloss, but I would be more worried about the seams and moisture getting in between causing peeling. I would recommend using pressed metal. You could use a primer and then any paint you like. This would give you the ability to seal the seams.

I would NOT use this as a backsplash or in a kitchen. The relief is quite deep and would probably get crushed with constant scrubbing.

I have to say no. I painted a regular wall with chalk paint, let it cure for a few days and then used the SuperChalks to design a holiday theme. I just tried to wipe it off and I'm not having much luck. I might try the board cleaner or I just might have to repaint and use regular chalk. Love the Superchalks but perhaps the feedback is correct, don't use on porous surfaces.

We just recently put up this wallpaper and love it. It has been so much fun to let our friends decorate our wall. We have textured dry wall and decided to put down wallpaper liner underneath this wallpaper. You would've definitely been able to see our drywall lumps and bumps had we not put the liner down.

Thank you for your quick response. Other comments were so positive that I ordered it hoping it was washable. Thanks!!

I wouldn't recommend it for wallpaper. It is lightweight plastic, and was great for a party/temporary use, but doubt it would hold up as wallpaper. Recommend ordering a large wall decal.

If that back wall was smooth and free from any grime/grease, I'm sure it would, if the installation was smooth with no air bubbles or pockets. It might be interesting to frame it in some way. We've used decorative molding from big box stores and painted them with acrylic metallic paints, to frame a glass mosaic tile backslash in a bathroom. Seal it with a clear coat of lacquer. Interesting project. Have you thought of 6x6 or 8x8 mirror tiles? More durable and easy to clean.

This cannot be grouted. I would talk to a title specialist on if this is a good choice to use as a backsplash. I have it in my bathroom over the vanity, so it does not get wet.

I thought it looked beautiful without being painted, however I used it on only one wall in my kitchen as an accent wall and painted it Hawthorne yellow to match the other walls. Either way is fine!

I did not see anything that Said it was paintable. I was not looking at that cause it was clear for bricks and grout. I suppose you could paint but if your paint peels you might disturb it scraping and redoing....

I just want to "ditto" on the hand wash only. I had a beautiful shiny silver pan that was washed in the dishwasher at work. Now it is so ugly - blacked and whatnot. I just popped out here to buy a new one. And I will make sure to NEVER leave it at work after a potluck again.

I just tried a small spot on the front of ours and it seems to mostly rub off, but it is textured and there is a bit of a shadow left. Maybe a plain washable would be better. Consider that the back of the map is not protected and is fabric-like so any marker that was drawn on the back would NOT rub off. You bring up a fun idea that we had not considered for our kids. Thanks!

I guess I haven't heard or seen of the paint issue. I use mine pretty often and I love it, but I wrap the top and bottom with cling wrap and also use the patty paper so I don't have to clean it. The times I have cleaned it I did it in the sink only, I'm not sure what the dishwasher would do.

It depends on whether or not you come in contact with the walls very often. I love the look but the slightest nick with a fingernail leaves a mark. My cats like to sit in the window and they destroyed the wallpaper under the window with their back feet. The pattern is kind of spongy and it doesn't firm up after painting - at least it didn't for me. I do love the look, tho, and try to think of the blemishes as giving it character. I've had no trouble with it sticking to the walls, without using extra adhesive, but I did use a good primer first.

This paint is just acrylic paint that you might find at a craft with a more realistic metallic look. I don't see why it could not be applied over wallpaper with a texture as acrylic paint is pretty versatile, I am just unsure how well it would hold up in the long run.

Yes, absolutely- and it is beautiful - I used it to create a backsplash in my kitchen and it works great! Actually I have used it in many rooms in my house for various uses and it stays put and yet, is easily removed - and if you remove it to move it - it still sticks. I love this product - I have tried others but this one is clearly the best! Very shiny and the texture reflects light well!

I'm guessing your shower is tiled, and your looking for the cement value this product has in it. Sounds like a reasonable solution and it will look fine, like all paints, for a while, but I don't think that this paint will be as easy to redo in the future if you have to strip it. This is an excellent product for outside walls and statues, and basement walls, all just require a little wire brushing and repaint. My suggestion would be to cover the wood in white aluminum and chalk it. Or cover with stainless steel trim if you got the $, No paint , ever! Easy to clean . Botta boom batta bing

I have only had my kitchen for a couple of months, BUT I run a preschool. The kitchen still looks BRAND NEW. I imagine eventually the paint is going to show wear marks, but... honestly this is THE nicest kitchen I've seen.
