Clean,apply two coats of primer allowing to dry in between and paint
primer
Measure the length and width of the area to be painted. Then multiply L x W and that's how many square feet you'll need to cover. The paint store can give you an approx. # of sq. ft. that a gallon will cover.
Yes to the primer.
Use a stain blocking primer that has been tinted the same color as the paint you will be using.

Clean it first and degloss it with Liquid Sandpaper. Prime with Kilz
Hi Mika82. I have noticed, alot of Home Talkers are using unicorn spit on furniture. I have not tried it yet, but It is very popular amongst the Home Talk community. They are gettibg it at store's like, mickle's, lowers, HobyLobby I think. Depending on where you live as to where you would goe. I live in Austraila so it's a local Harwear store for us. Check out some Home Talk post's where Home Talkers are using Unicorn Spit. Good luck hope this info is usfull. Kay Adelaide Australia
I just did this, paint store expert told me to start by cleaning/prepping with TSP, then use Kilz paint as a base before using my picked color. I was told to use a Kilz that had a grey base and it worked great!
We painted our entire living room that was all dark wood paneling. Get a good primer. If you have more of a real wood paneling that can contain sap, use the Kilz primer especially for wood. Then use whatever interior paint you would like! You'll probably need at least 2 coats, so buy a decent brand with good coverage.
