Hello Quinn and thanks so much for your question. Paintable wallpaper is applied using the same process as regular wallpaper and is not reusable once removed. Our paintable designs give you the freedom and flexibility to paint in the color of your choice time and time again. For a complete guide to hanging and removing wallpaper, you can visit the Brewster Website which gives you a step by step outline. Problems with removal tend to occur when the wall has not been properly prepared or primed prior to hanging your wallpaper. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Good luck with your design project!
