Use any quality interior wall paint such as Benjamin Moore's Regal Wall Satin. But not until you have primed those walls! Use Kilz oil primer for walls that have shiny wallpaper on them. If the wallpaper has a flat look, then it would be okay to go to Wal Mart for some Kilz II water base primer.

I own an older double wide in NJ and decided to paint over one of our bathrooms since the floral pattern might have looked good 20 years ago, but has not for at least a decade. I found that if you thoroughly clean the walls with TSP or similar after lightly scuffing the surface with a scothbrite pad and then using a quality primer that is made for this purpose (read the can), then painting with a good quality paint you should have not problems. I have had good luck with a Glidden primer and Behr paint. I painted about two years ago and have had no problems with peeling or cracking.

Since most mobile homes get hot and cold year round. I would use an interior/exterior latex paint. A satin or semigloss would be best so you may wash it.

Yes, you can. That's exactly what I did in mine. - Looks much better than the original wallpaper.

If the wallpaper was original, then it will come off easily, that's preferable. If it won't come off and is not ripped or loose, paint a good primer right over it, then your regular paint.

You can, however you may have to prime the surface of the wallboard first with a high adhesion, stain killing primer.

Can I paint the vinyl exterior shutters?

One of the advantages of vinyl exterior shutters is that they can be created to match your color scheme so they never need painting. If you buy a home with older vinyl shutters, it is better to replace the shutters than paint them. If you do try to paint your shutters, you must paint them a similar color and use paint with a mix of acrylic and urethane resins.
