DON'T PAINT OVER THE WALLPAPER. It will give you more grief in the future
than you want to deal with.

Get the rest of the paper and backing off the wall. Rinse well to get any
leftover glue off. Fix any damage from removing the paper, old holes,
nicks, etc. Prime (or the areas you fixed will show in certain light).
Get primer tinted to 3/4 the final color you choose. Paint. 2 coats is
always the bomb.

Good advice. One thing missing:

Whatever drying time is mentioned on the paint can, it's a lie. Multiply by
2. Make that 3 if it's a damp environment. If it says 24 hours, that means
nobody takes a shower in that bathroom for 72 hours. A week would be even
better. There's nothing you can do to speed things up. Not a fan, nothing.
