Vinyl wall panels, especially in bathrooms, are better off if they are removed as opposed to covered. They can warp, swell, and peel, causing damage to new coverings, and if they are found in a room with a high moisture content, they can trap moisture behind them, causing mold.

What type of paint should you use on a bathroom wall after you strip the wall from wallpaper?
Use a sealer if the drywall was damaged while removing the wallpaper, then use a high quality latex paint in the sheen of your choice.
What kind of paint is used on wallpapper?
There is no specific brand of paint designed to cover wallpaper. Paint carries too much moisture to use on top of wallpaper. When paint is applied to wallpaper the wallpaper absorbs some of the moisture and immediately begins to bubble and lift at the seams. Your best bet is to soak the wallpaper with hot water and a sponge and let it soak in completely. Enzyme based wallpaper remover also works well because it eats away the glue backing on the wallpaper. There is a method for painting over wallpaper if for some reason you do not want to remove it. Pick up some shellac primer and apply that to the wallpaper. It dries so quickly the wallpaper doesn't have time enough to bubble. Then you can apply the paint. Word of warning: make sure you have a lot of ventilation when using the shellac. It have very strong fumes. I hope this helps.
What is the best way to paint brown wood paneling?
First apply a good, even coat of primer (kilz interior primer/sealer works well on paneling) Once the primer has dried completely you will be able to see clearly where any holes or cracks are in the paneling, as you will want to fill any such voids before you apply the paint. When the primer is dry and all the nail, tack and screw holes are filled you can then apply the paint. I like to use a short nap fleece roller cover for surfaces like paneling. The fleece (sheep skin) rollers are a little more expensive but they do not spatter paint everywhere like other roller covers and they last a lot longer.
What happens if you use water based kiltz over wallpaper?
It depends on the wallpaper. If it's paintable, then the water based primer will adhere. In fact, a latex paint will adhere without a primer. If the wallpaper has an anti-stick coating on it, then it probably isn't paintable.
Can you use gripper paint when painting over wallpaper?
Don't use just any paint or primer when attempting to cover wallpaper. The moisture in paint and primer will cause your wallpaper to lift at the seems and bubble everywhere else, and they will not go away by themselves. Binzer, if I remember correctly, makes a shellac primer that dries very, very quickly and does not give the wallpaper enough time to bubble. A word of advise on the shellac: be absolutely sure to use enough ventilation. You will need to open the room as much as possible in which it is being applied. Buy yourself one of the $25.00 respirators with the filter on each side. All this may seem like a hassle but it will save you much aggravation and time. That's Zinnser BIN primer that is being referred to. Works great! See the related link.
