You definitely want to use sizing, which is quick/easy and will ensure it comes off when you need to remove it as well as adhere correctly. I don't think you need a coat of regular paint too though. I've used pre-pasted product many times with no problems. |

Don't paint over it. Most people "hate" oil based coatings so they won't use them even though, for some applications, they are best. You probably don't need to size, but it would not do any harm. If you follow the wetting and hanging instructions carefully, you should not need to use additional paste. |
