Susan Fodera on Nov 11, 2016I moved into an older manufactured home covered in paneling "felt like I was in jail". I primed with Kilz them used Glidden eggshell finish with primer. Came out great, I also did the "stripes" with a brush before rolling.Helpful Reply

Jimmy Fink on Nov 11, 2016You might have to use a brush to get the paint in the lines of the panel then rolling paint worked well with me. You might have to do two coats. I think most people skid the roller on the paneling in some areas...another reason to back paintHelpful Reply

Lisa House on Nov 12, 2016I have always used primer then paint. Brush to fill the grooves then a roller. The next time which will be next spring/summer, I plan on filling in the grooves and skim coating with something like joint compound first so that it doesn't look like paneling once it's all done.Helpful Reply
