Hey Darryl and Bill,
I've never wall-papered but will assume very similar. This 'prostar flocking paper' is self adhesive and although i have read that additional glue is useful this was not needed in my case.
It was a little stressful and took between 1-2 hours from memory. Would have been worth it if this took me 3 days though! Also would have been easier if I drove to the hardware store and bought a stanley knife!
I used 2 sections and 1 overlapped slightly (hence need for stanley knife not scissors), the overlapping piece peeled. I will add the only reason there was stress was because of failing to de-lint the material before installing. Making this a painful and frustrating experience to fully remove the lint once in the tube! Spend the time and remove all air pockets by hand, you only do this once if done right. +to state the obvious measure 3 times!
I can't comment on the professional paint you have access too but your right this prostar stuff is highly textured and simply would be hard to compete with.
Out of interest I flocked my chinese 50mm finder a week ago and was shocked at the improvement for such a small aperture! added later -Oops thought this was my other post about flocking the 8"!
Hey Bill I wouldn't use brown, sure there'd be worse colours, but it aint black!
