Our mobile home has the standard vinyl covered wall board on the inside. Some of these need to be replaced and we were wanting to use sheetrock. Is there are way to make the vinyl wall board and sheetrock go together and not look terrible. Is there a certain size of sheetrock that i need to get so that it is flush with the existing vinyl wall board?
We plan on painting after putting in the new replacement sheetrock and taping/mudding.

Hi,
In addition to Greg's answer your sheetrock will have a flat smooth finish, your wall board will have a slight texture. If you check in the BOOKS/PARTS link I believe Mark has a video on how to make your textured wallboard walls smooth.

It has a swirly pattern on it. Pretty sure we won't have it all matching except for the paint color but that is o.k.
What we did was to sheetrock an entire wall, to the corners. Then when I painted the room you couldn't tell the wall had ever been replaced. The moulding at the top and floor needs to match too, to make it all look "unified".
