@@jafallica Hi, no way! A clean and smooth surface is how I would do it. Nothing like getting dust/dirt on your brush or roller and smearing it all over the wall with your new paint as you stand there looking at the mess you just created! (been there..done that!) Lesson learned. Lol
wow from watching these videos on youtube has taught me so much on home remodeling, i was looking at a old house way out in the countryside to buy and all the walls was that ugly wood paneling and said to myself how costly it would be to rip all that wood paneling down and put up sheetrock, and never thought that you could paint it and save yourself a bunch of money.

Thanks! I'm finally gonna take the plunge and paint the wood paneling in our living room. Going to try a dusty, muted purple for a little pop of color in the living room
Great video. A lot of us dont want to open a can of worms by taking out wood panel walls so just taking time and effort to paint panels helps out a lot and looks so much better than in some cases 40 year old paneling.
Yes it is possible to use a sprayer. You would have to do some additional prep work to prevent overspray. here is a video about how to use a paint sprayer ruclips.net/video/P4L0ambgyCc/видео.html .
Great video. One question. WHAT IF you didn't want the grooves? What can I fill them with? I want to fill in the grooves and put molding in frame style on them.
Great question! We received several comments of people having great success with filling in the grains with compound/plaster, and then sealing and painting it. Hope that helps!
After many years of feeling like I'm living in The Brady Bunch house I finally painted the wood paneling What a game changer, next on the list the stupid popcorn ceiling
Hey Lou, question for you. I have old (crappy) paneled walls that I sanded and painted about 20 years ago. I now want to change the color and repaint them. I shouldn’t sand them should I? I must mention my crappy paneling is not real wood. I think it’s made out of MDF with a photo type layer of wood on top. 😖 I am afraid if I lightly sand the painted surface that I could scratch thru to that crappy layer. Am I right to just leave the painted layer alone and just wash it and let it dry before new paint?
Hi There, Are you referring to the seems between the boards? If so, you could apply paintable caulk between the seems, sand it down and then paint over it for a smooth finish.
@@AceHardware Thanks for the response! I believe so - I'm referring to the intermittent vertical joints/reveals, not necessarily the joints between the 4' x 8' panels for example. Seems they can be spackled and sanded to make it look like traditional GWB
Great video! Very informative! just one question, generally speaking, how long after priming is it OK to paint? I know the video said once primer is dry, but just wanted a basic idea approx how long is OK to wait? thank you!
Great question - for this particular basement it took about 4 hours. Sometimes humidity can be a factor, especially in basements, so we didn't want to give a set number of hours. Hope this helps!
Hi There - Follow the same direction in this video. This basement had fake wood with veneer. Same process will work. One great tip we learned from the comments was you could apply paintable caulk in between the wood slats and make it more smooth. Hope that tip works for you!
Im planning too. But i have a question. How can i panel it? I want those bumpy gaps to be filled. And what should i use? After paneling do i need to use sand papers before applying the prime paint? And when sanding should i remove the paint? (White painted) Please respond. I already have the paints and don't know how to start. (My wall is also made of ply wood)
Hello Matthew! We would suggest reach out to your local ACE as they are the professionals when it comes to a good job such as this one. Here is a link to our store locator where you can find the phone number for the store in your area bit.ly/findace. Thanks!
Ugh my whole house is that UGLY dark wood panelling and I can’t stand it! I’ve wanted to paint it for so long! I’m going to start with the kitchen! This makes it look SO easy and I really hope it is!
Hey Britney, it's very easy! Over time we've seen some comments on the video that if you want to avoid the lines between the wood panels to fill them with paintable caulk. We think that's a good tip and wanted to pass it along!
Hi Jaclyn, You want to just rough up the panels if they have a gloss on them. Enough to cut the sheen down on the panel. You don't want to loose the wood grain. We suggest the same effort you'd put in if you were to wash the boards. It is not toxic to sand the panel, however it can kick up minor dust so you could use a breathing mask. Depending upon the size of the room it's not much of a time commitment for sanding down the panels. Perhaps spend 1-2 minutes a board. Hope this helps!
Hi There - We suggest checking the primer can for their dry time as it can vary by product. However, in this particular project it took 12 hours to dry. We started it during the day and let it dry overnight. Highly recommend you have windows open and fans going during the drying process. Just be cautious that high amounts of humidity can slow the dry process. Latex primer takes about an hour to dry to the touch. But we suggest waiting about 3 hours for latex primer to fully dry before painting over it. Hope this helps!
I have exterior wood panels which are 30 years old. The paint gets dull within 2 years and I can see cracks. Someone advised me to change the whole wood panels, because he said the moisture got into wood. I try to salvage them. Any advice to get the paint last longer than 2 years and keep the moisture out? Thanks in advance
@@re_patel do more coats of primer.. primer is cheaper than paint. so 2-3 coats of primer. 1 coat of paint but I much prefer 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint although you can easily just do 2 coast of primer and 1 coat of paint.
My thing is that the there will cracks where panels meet every other year and you will have to fill them and paint over them again and again. I am at the point where I am going to strip back to the original panel and no paint.
my family room has the same ugly deep veneer wood paneling and I hate it so much! I tried out on one piece of the wall with paint and it looked horrible because of the deep lines and creases. Now I know that I have to sand them down first before I paint them.
If you don't want them lines / Kris on the walls... just take some dry wall patch filler into the line then sand and paint... it would look like a regular wall

I have a really unique wooded wall built in the 70s. It have a lot of triming all over. I just need some ideas. I want to paint it a dark gray. My color now is in-between dark and Lil light brown. No shine to it really.
Feel free to bring a picture of the room and a close up of the wooded wall to your local Ace so they can provide some project options! Your wooded wall sounds similar to the one in the video. It didn't have too much shine.
If you do decide tofill in the cracks with spackling you will need to prime those cracks first with the primer he used. The spackling will not stick to the paneling. I did what you are asking about 3 years ago and it has not cracked yet. It is a time consuming process as you will have to sand after you fill in the the cracks to smooth the surface when the spackling dries and then prime the whole wall.
Hi There, You know we received a comment with a great idea. Use a putty knife and apply PAINTABLE caulk. Scrape off any excess. Allow to dry until hard. Once completely dry you will be able to paint the lines.
Hi Angela, It will depend on how large the surface you need to paint. If you bring in the size of your walls, your Ace can give you an estimate on how much paint you need. It will also depend on if you need things like paint brushes, rollers, painter's tape, etc.
Hi Jason, Try water based Kilz primer that should work very well and easy clean up, like this one www.acehardware.com/departments/paint-and-supplies/primers/primers/17937
wood is for the poor. its cheap and doesnt hold up to time, wear and tear, and bugs.. Tile/rock is the way to go. Youll never see smart rich people with wood flooring its always marble or granite floors. Itll last thousands of years. Wood gets destroyed easily by everything. Fire.. water.. dirt.. Its just crap. And yes many people had marble in their homes pre central bank times because people werent getting robbed by the banking synagogue cartel
Duct tape. Duct tape fixes everything. Wife backed up into a parking lot knee wall ripping the bumper cover off? Duct tape. ATF kick down your door to raid your house for having a full auto sear? Duct tape them hinges.
Hi B E, It is possible to paint them! We would first suggest that you bring a photo of your basement to your local Ace to evaluate the condition. In many cases fake wood paneling is painted by lightly sanding the panels, applying a primer like Kilz or BIN and then Clark and Kensington in the sheen and color of your choice.
black panels in the garage? Why such a dark color? White or light grey is better for reflecting the light since a garage is usually where you do work and want all that light.
This is such a professional video, well narrated.. so refreshing these days seeing something like this on RUclips... thanks for posting it!

I did this however, I hid the seams. My sons arr always wrestling so the wood holds up when they throw each other against the walls lol
Don't fool yourself the drywall would look a million times better
I have wood paneling that looks identical. Thought about drywalling it too but that's way too expensive.

You are correct, wipe it down then use a paint no primer in one to cover. Try the Ace Clark and Kensington brand.
Any way to seal up the joints in the wood paneling? Could you use spackle and sand it down?

Did you use caulk in the butt joints? Its designed to flex with the house so theres no cracking.
how to do you fill in the crevices so it's all flat and smooth or is it better to drywall
If you want to paint it a color it helps to tint the primer.

any tips on spackling the grooves between panels so the wall looks flat?

If you do decide tofill in the cracks with spackling you will need to prime those cracks first with the primer he used. The spackling will not stick to the paneling. I did what you are asking about 3 years ago and it has not cracked yet. It is a time consuming process as you will have to sand after you fill in the the cracks to smooth the surface when the spackling dries and then prime the whole wall.

take off the paneling, sell it, and buy dry wall
whats the cost more or less of doing it? i own nothing
Hi Angela,
It will depend on how large the surface you need to paint. If you bring in the size of your walls, your Ace can give you an estimate on how much paint you need. It will also depend on if you need things like paint brushes, rollers, painter's tape, etc.

What Midwest state was this filmed in
Hi Vernon, This was in in Illinois :)
I knew it was somewhere in the Midwest every basement here has wood panels
I like wood paneling without paint on it. Just a nice vintage thing.
Kylle Poiencot so? And your point is?
wood is for the poor. its cheap and doesnt hold up to time, wear and tear, and bugs.. Tile/rock is the way to go. Youll never see smart rich people with wood flooring its always marble or granite floors. Itll last thousands of years. Wood gets destroyed easily by everything. Fire.. water.. dirt.. Its just crap. And yes many people had marble in their homes pre central bank times because people werent getting robbed by the banking synagogue cartel
what grit is that sanding sponge?
Medium grit :)
Latex over oil?
yeah i was wondering that too.. Isnt latex paint water based?
I never have to tape anything off..if ur good at trimming you don't need to
Takes a steady hand so no drinking the night before.
Why not fill the gaps between the panels?
You definitely could! It takes some more detail work that in many cases need some precision to get smooth lines that even out within the panels.
Remove nails-- what will hold the panel to the wall? Maybe set the nails and cover the hole.
Hi M - We're referring to nails that were used for decorative purposes (pictures, shelves, etc.) not foundation nails.
Duct tape. Duct tape fixes everything. Wife backed up into a parking lot knee wall ripping the bumper cover off? Duct tape. ATF kick down your door to raid your house for having a full auto sear? Duct tape them hinges.
I know you want to look good for the video but a red shirt whilst using white paint. Brave man.
What about one of them fake wood panels? I want to paint it black in my garage instead of replacing them
Hi B E, It is possible to paint them! We would first suggest that you bring a photo of your basement to your local Ace to evaluate the condition. In many cases fake wood paneling is painted by lightly sanding the panels, applying a primer like Kilz or BIN and then Clark and Kensington in the sheen and color of your choice.
black panels in the garage? Why such a dark color? White or light grey is better for reflecting the light since a garage is usually where you do work and want all that light.
1-get paint
2-put on panels
Done.
He learned pretty well from the books but still looks lost a bit. Hope they came in and put 2 coats on
The only thing that sux about painting paneling is when you done it still looks like paneling 😂
The vertical cracks are a pain in the arse
Real painters only use tape to hang their wet paint signs
So, you’re not even going to clean the paneling before you prime it? That’s insane!
