    Give the walls a light sanding and a good cleaning. Prime them first or use a good 2-in-1 paint and primer. Applying more than one coat is always a good idea too.

    Hi Brenda. Make sure it is clean first. Then I would fill any holes with a wood filler and lightly sand after it has dried so it blends in. I have found that using a oil base primer works very well with paneling. Apply that and after it has dried you are ready to paint.

    Yes and I would use TSP solution to help with making the surface “bite”.

    Clean with TSP, prime with Kilz Original, then paint.
