How much paint do you have? Enamel is generally "thicker" paint and doesn't cover as many square feet.
If it were me? I'd be using a heat gun to remove the old wallpaper as a first step.
Next, I'd be putting the paint I bought on either the local Nextdoor site or Craigslist to get rid of it rather than trying to "make it work".
Third, as already suggested I'd use drywall "mud" to create the plastered look I wanted and let it cure a good three/four weeks before painting with a good alkyd (water based, not oil based) primer paint.
Lastly, use the final coat cover I wanted in the first place.
Quoting: Larry D. Croc Thank you so much for your advice ... but it is beginning to sound like a lot more work than I anticipated - especially if I have to take off the vinyl wall covering first ... which may not even be vinyl considering how old it is ... but it is not coming down anywhere ... it's still in great shape but it is an ivy print that I really really hate ... and thought I could make look like plaster if I added something to the paint ... but you are talking about painting over my "mud" concoction .... I was hoping to put it all on at one time with a trowel .... is that possible in your opinion?
