Painting wood paneling
Have any of you painted wood paneling? If so, how does it look? Any pictures you can share?
We are thinking of doing this (for the time being, before we can actually get it removed, etc.) and are not sure of how it would look. Thanks!

Re: Painting wood paneling
my parents had an business office that had paneling & we painted it. I think it comes out great considering how easy it is compared to getting new sheetrock. We cleaned it first, then primed with Kilz, then painted.
I think DIY.com has directions on how to do it too.

I second using Kilz. It covers EVERYTHING.

Re: Painting wood paneling
Our painter did it for us. He said the key is to use oil based primer, it really sticks to the paneling. He didn't even need to sand it down first.
He did all the grooves first quickly with a paintbrush, and then used a roller with a big nap. When we were painting another room we asked the guys at Janovic and they were really helpful.

Re: Painting wood paneling
Yes we have. It looks like wide wainscotting afterwards, kinda neat.
But definitely prime it first before painting!!
I have to search for a pic.
