My mobile home has wall board that has a design on it, so it sort of seems like wall paper but it really isn’t. I’ve primered it with Kilz to cover the design well and then 2 coats of a good paint. It’s been fine over the past 12 years, no trouble.

you will need to take out and clean up the walls before painting it.

anything is paintable with the right paint. take a sample to your hardware store(or paint shop) or get a book on paints and surfaces. it will paint over most thigs.

You may have paper covered paneling. As long as the paper is well attached to the backing material, you should be able to paint it without problem. You might want to put on a good primer/adhesion promoter on first before painting with latex.
