Are they plywood or paneling? Paint is the easiest and budget friendly. Prime with Kiz primer then paint your color.
Barn or plate wood is popular now. Being a sun room I assume it’s a screened in room. You can apply a wain cot to your first hoziontal board above the floor plate, using the wood you’ve collected or use carpet remnants inplace of the wood. 🤠3D
The paneling itself can be the wainscoting. Just add molding as a chair rail. Paint the lower part one color and the top another color. I also don't understand the carpet remnant idea.
Paint Paneling
Make sure the paneling is clean and dry. Prime with a good stain blocking primer like Kilz or BIN. Then paint like painting regular walls. If the paneling has grooves you can fill them with non shrink drywall patching compound. Just put on enough to fill the grooves. Let it dry overnight. Next day use a damp sponge to smooth the patch. Then prime and paint.
Please post your project here when you decide to do it.
will do, tho will be next spring as it is starting to get too cold to do much painting outside now. Look forward to starting that project, and just as eager to see the finished project. Thanks, and have a good one.
