Hello Margaret. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to paint your wood paneling. It also lists the materials that you will need and provides tips on how to make the job easier. Click on the link below to view the guide. Good luck!
Hi Margarite. First make sure the paneling is clean. I would wipe it done with a wet rag. Then fill any nail holes with a paintable wood filler, or Spackle. Then you will want to prime it. When I painted paneling the oil base primer worked much better than a latex base. After that has dried you are ready to paint on your color. Good Luck!
we had that in the dinning room. I lightly sanded it an put a primer coat on it, let dry an put a coat of paint on it, maybe two coats. Over the years has been painted many times an I still love the look.
Clean and degrease thoroughly. I didn't sand, the degreaser was enough. I used wood putty for some scratches to smooth them out, then used Kilz to cover and prime, then painted. Changed colors a couple of times, still looks great.
I was wondering if you could help me with something -- I have an entirely oak kitchen. I know it's the rage now to paint or gel stain cabinets. I've been considering ...

Clean, clean, clean. It was an era of smoking. Good quality primer and paint
Paint with a eggshell or satin finish paint for easier washing down the road.

I would do a light sanding, just to help ensure the paint adheres to the surface.
