Room has been lined can I paint over it?

I removed some really horrendous wallpaper in the living room but was careful to not take the lining paper off too.

The lining paper appears to be in good condition; although it is dirty and has wallpaper paste on it. Can it be cleaned and painted over? I rather not have to remove it and line the room or again and I doubt the wall would be in good enough condition to paint.

You can try. Sometimes you will see bubbles in the paper when it is wet with paint but these dissapear when the paint dries.

As above ^ the paper may bubble and look horrendous until it dries back.

Really doubt it but do one wall at a time on completion leave till dry see what it looks like then start next wall?You may get away with all being fine or only one or two needing to be relined this isn’t ideal or the quickest way but would suit …
