Not a good idea. The adhesive is usually water based and will liquefy when the primer is applied, resulting in less adhesion of the primer and a streaky, uneven or textured finish.
It is best to take the time, use wallpaper stripper in warm water and remove the adhesive. Then rinse down the walls with clear water and allow it to dry before applying the primer.

∙ 11y agoBe careful what you apply to wallpaper as it tends to bubble and the seems lift, thereby you'll be opening a whole new can of worms. Binzer makes a fast drying primer that dries so quickly the wallpaper doesn't have a chance to bubble. Please use a good mask and lots of ventilation when using this stuff, it has a very strong odor but dissipates as it dries.

Can you use primer as a finish coat?
You don't specify on what material you are using the primer on.In either case primer is paint that is made to seal and bond to the material you are painting, which in turn helps the regulat paint to bond. You CAN use primer as a final coat but the primer won't give you the hardness that a paint will or the shine, but there is no reason that you can't use it. Depends on the look you want. Hope this helps
