I am looking for ideas also, I did my laundry room and no matter what I do not like how it turned out. I noticed it is also starting to chip in some places. I even bought the special paint.
That is beautiful paneling. Look into updating your lighting, use uplighting with sconces and good overhead lighting. If you insist on painting it, use liquid sandpaper on it along with a good primer. Good luck.
Have you considered drywalling over the paneling?? If so this may help http://homeguides.sfgate.com/change-look-knotty-pine-walls-27137.html
I had an older home with paneling and painting really helped, so I used Behr interior flat because it has a mixed in primer. Flat because the walls toned down better and the look of paneling was gone. Kind of hard to explain but it worked. Then I replaced the moldings from the top and bottom. It was a rustic home so I choose a dark stain over Pine wood. It turned out really nice.
I painted my mothers and used a primer first then paint. No chips. tmThen I painted mine.
mine was so old when I painted it grabbed paint. Also check behind sometimes they dry walled and just added the paneling Lester there could be dry wall behind the paneling. Later I had my room dry walled. I will like painted paneling better than paneling.
