How to paint paneled walls
-
Cindi on Jun 07, 2014@Cathy.Roll Tide You first have to make sure all nail holes and imperfections are repaired, or covered. Then prime the wall, starting with brushing the seems first, then rolling all of it. Then paint with wall color, starting with seems first with brush then rolling the walls. Hope this helps. I know it sounds like alot, but it really isnt. I love painted paneling. Looks so country and fresh looking.Helpful Reply

Wendy Willey on Jun 07, 2014I agree with the other gals. Just make sure you DO NOT use the paint and primer in one paint. The paneled walls could be scrubbed down with some TSP solution, to ensure the removal of any oils to guarantee a clean surface, then prime and then paint.Helpful Reply

Dianna Wood on Jun 07, 2014Hi Wendy - Lots depends upon the type of paneling and the finish used on the paneling. To be certain that the paint will adhere and not peel, bubble, or chip in a year or so. I also recommend: 1. Wash down with TSP solution (I used sponge mop and a window cleaners bucket)2. Prime with 2 thin coats of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 PLUS Primer3. Cut in with brush and paint with Paddle Painter (see attached image) This will give you the look of brush strokes at 1/4 the time.Helpful Reply

Rather Square on Jun 09, 2014Hi Cathy! It's a pretty easy process to paint paneling (and it can make a big impact). We painted a wood-paneled room recently and it turned out great. Here's a link to our process and lots of photos. Hope this helps! http://www.rathersquare.com/2013/12/painting-wood-paneling-brushes-rollers-beer/Helpful Reply

Nancy J on Jul 10, 2015it depends on the paneling, if it is smooth and slightly shiny, use a de-glosser first, then prime, then paint. We painted our bedroom paneling and did not de-gloss, but primed and used a satin latex and let dry for more than 48 hours between coats and it is peeling in places. When I redo it, I am going to use an eggshell finish. Oh and this was before I ever heard of chalk paint, but have used chalk paint on other finishes, it is pricy per quart, but it covers very well and goes a long wayHelpful Reply
