Bought a house (built in 1996) with wallpaper in three rooms. Type of primer before painting over wallpaper?

I plan to remove the wallpaper in the bathroom before painting. In the other two rooms, I have been encouraged to paint over the wallpaper since it is extremely stuck to the wall. What type of primer do you use before painting over wallpaper? Is it a special kind of primer, or can you use Kilz water-based primer?

Kilz will work just fine.Bought a house (built in 1996) with wallpaper in three rooms. Type of primer before painting over wallpaper?
my husband and I just bought a house, and we had to spend thousands of dollars to undo the damage of what was the result of someone painting over wall paper. I would not recommend this at all. all you have to do is put boiling water in a spray bottle, and spray the wallpaper. Let the water absorb, for about 15 min. It should peel off, you may need to repeat once more for a clean finish. I hope this helps. p.s. since it is your house that you just bought, I would suggest doing the long propper way. It'll pay off trust me.
Kilz will be your best bet.
You should remove the wallpaper. You can score the paper with a rough pad. There is a chemical that after you spray it on the paper, will dissolve the glue and normally the paper will peel right off. You will get a better finish plus if you decide you want a faux finish, you have more options with a wall that doesn't have the wallpaper
Even though it is the worse worse pain in the arssss ever it really is best to remove the wallpaper i have seen allot of times even when primer is used like kilz that eventually after a few layers it will always bubble then your left with a mess and have to remove it anyways, especially in a room like a bathroom where there is alot of mosture. Im not saying you need to remove it i have seen it work with kilz but just know that its chancy. YOu can get wallpaper solvent and a little tool to serate it with little holes it works well.
you dont paint over it, you hire me to remove it , or you get a tool called tiger claw, or a steamer and you get the paper wet enough to peel, then hit the wall with a sponge then have at it. The tiger claw puts small holes in the paper and allows the water to penetrate and peel off. You can use kilz 2 latex or zinnger i think it's called, but i havent used it, i always use kilz
