This is such a professional video, well narrated.. so refreshing these days seeing something like this on CZcams... thanks for posting it!
Our entire downstairs looks like this with wood panels and I was considering to tear them down and then drywall them. I think your method will be far easier, quicker and cheaper and in the end may look a lot better too. It has some character with the lines of the wood wall but brightening it up will transform the space immensely. Thanks for this excellent tutorial!
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.
I came home from work and my wife had painted the paneling in our dining room,den,and kitchen. She didnt sand,or prime and 3 months later its peeling in places. I'm gonna have to go back and redo it all.

Ace Hardware is truly a gift to us from the past. I hope they never go out of business. I have never felt so welcomed as when I am in an Ace hardware and one of their knowledgable employees is explaining something to me. These guys are great!
Hi Christopher, We just LOVE to hear that! Thanky ou!
Love this video! I bought my Pawpaw’s house last year that was built in 1977. Our bedrooms are wood paneling and I can’t wait to brighten it up!
Awesome Alex! Really brightens up the space!
Did you paint them
The room looks sooo much brighter now! Love the look! Great job 👍
I appreciate that these videos help us do it yourselfers like me get knowledge, even when it confirms what more tenured people already know. Please keep in mind that people like me need these videos.
Best wood paneling resurrection ever! Thanks for making this informative and easy to follow!
Michelle Doyle would you paint a wall without cleaning it first?
@@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
I bought Clark and Kensington for my kitchen cabinets did a great job. Now onto the paneling, I thought I would need more products. Glad I have exactly what I need
I’m remodeling a home I bought last year to resell and stripped off all the wallpaper to find wood paneling. Looking forward to following your easy instructions, rolling up the sleeves and doing this!
I. ...................................
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.
Excellent job, looks great. I think I will do this.
Finally, some one who is short and crispy. Thanks!
Erjet Malaj lol
I see that shirt .. you work for him don’t you 😂😂 he paid you to say that
@@nikki1776 With all that time, hearing nonsense words. Its a luxury to get to hear a video like this so short and crispy, you are lucky! I have my own buisness and over cross the ocean. Otherside of the PLANET!
I didnt know ace filmed in my parents basement 🤷♀️
🤣🤣🤣
He is still there....
😂😂😂
😂
I was just checking in to see if he is still alive in your parents basement
Helpful - thank you!! My entire finished basement is wood paneling!
Love the flooring in that basement!
This was so helpful, thank you!
I am in love with that floor!
I did it this past weekend came out great thanks so much for the video
Great to hear Kenneth!
This was an understanding video. Thankyou. I will be applying this technique.
Great video. Makes me think I can do this myself. Thanks
Amazing! Thank you.
Thank u for this video it helped so much!
Nice. Looking at buying a house and most of the ones in the area has this paneling in some rooms so this may be helpful.
I need this method to paint my wooden bedroom thanks a lot 👍👏🙏
It looks great after!
I hate my ugly outdated walls but always wondered what it would be like to just paint over them. Thank you! ❤️
still pretty ugly after painting IMHO
This is very informative! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Now the primer and paint are mixed together. Works great for us.
Is it possible to use the same steps as you show but use a paint sprayer instead of the roller? Thank you for a very direct and thorough video!
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 czcams.com/video/P4L0ambgyCc/video.html .
Thank you so much.
Very helpful!!!
Thanks for the tips
Thank you...amazing
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
You got this!
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.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks this video really helped
Awesome video
Great tips!
Crystal Renner except he never cleaned the panelling before he primed it!
how to do you fill in the crevices so it's all flat and smooth or is it better to drywall
I would take the extra step to fill in all cracks with spackle "mud" b4 painting to have a completely smooth wall
Would it be good to use a bonding primer?
Wait a minute. I grew up in that basement.
😃
I’m a pro painter and I get all my paint from my local ace hardware store so give parsons Tennessee a shout out great customer service I’ll be goin there in the morning to get me somemore paint as I am painting paneling with Clark Kensington paint and I love there paint good stuff
Thanks for the shout out Jason!
Jason Burgess do you paint without cleaning the walls?
Thank you so much we’re moving into a new house and my room has wood walls and I wanted to paint it light grey to make it brighter 😅
How did it turn out? Thinking of doing the same. How many coats did you need for light grey?
I’m doing this right now :D
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Some good advice since the house I just bought is 90% paneling
Thanks Patrick! Painting them will really brighten up the space.
That room brings back memories for us 80s kids
Thanks Phil Hartman
Hi! Great video, what’s the grit of the sandpaper block you’re using ?
Thanks!
Great question! 150 grit sandpaper is recommended.
Thank dad
Thank you for this! What grit sanding sponge would you recommend?
Hi Samuel,
Medium grit will do just fine on this project!
Can I see a good picture of that wicked cool tile please?
Now it looks like a modern barn.
How long does it take for the oil based primer to dry? How long do I need to wait before I apply the latex primer and paint
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 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.
Argh wood paneling is so gross to look at. I have it in my basement and can’t wait til it’s gone
If you want to
How sanded down do the panels need to be? Can it be toxic to remove the gloss? How much of a time commitment can this be?
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!
If you want to paint it a color it helps to tint the primer.
I seen another video where u caulk the panels where they meet after a coat of primer just like he did with the holes in this video and it came out cleaner
Hi Len, Yes! Someone suggested that tip below and we love that idea! Just make sure to use paintable caulk.
Any way to seal up the joints in the wood paneling? Could you use spackle and sand it down?
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
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 Julie,
You are correct, wipe it down then use a paint no primer in one to cover. Try the Ace Clark and Kensington brand.
My panels seem to be a fake wood, perhaps veneer? I’m not sure, but would that change the sanding process/type of primer and paint I should use?
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!
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!
@@AceHardware thank u for the reply!
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
Sand it down, then use primer, then paint over.
Do Total 3 coats,. So either 2 coats of primer and one of paint.
Or 1 primer and 2 coats of paint.
@@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.
@@ChristopherJones16 thanks for the advice
What if you don't want the crevices to show? Can you caulk in the grooves?
Hi There,
You can but you will still see the lines and those will shrink and crack and will end up with the same look. Hope this helps!
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.
Did you use caulk in the butt joints? Its designed to flex with the house so theres no cracking.
any tips on spackling the grooves between panels so the wall looks flat?
Hi Baba, Filling the groves will only be temporary and eventually you’ll get thin vertical cracks. We suggest painting in the lines. Hope that helps!
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.
What would the grit size be for the sanding?
Hi There,
150-grit sandpaper
@@AceHardware Thank-You!

what grit is that sanding sponge?
Medium grit :)
Is that oil based or water based? Thanks
We used an Oil based primer and followed up with traditional wall paint, that is Acrylic Latex.
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.
Bro that wasn't sanding down. Just a light sanding so the primer sticks. Good luck trying to sand down paneling to make it flat lol
@@Citokinesis Ah I see! Well, either way, sanding it down helped with making the panels look more flat. Not completely flat but good enough.
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!
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.
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 wish I'd done this to my bedroom when I was in high school.....*sigh*
I wonder why he didn't fill the grooves so it would look like a regular wall. Is that possible? In my brain it would just be more sanding
Hi There,
It is possible to fill those grooves if you use paintable caulk and paint over it. Hope this helps!
Is there a bonding primer that would work too. Oil-based cover stain stinks and is difficult to clean with mineral spirits.
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
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.
Latex over oil?
yeah i was wondering that too.. Isnt latex paint water based?
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
Whoa Sammie! Great tip!
How do you get rid of the lines...I hate them.. lol
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.
take off the paneling, sell it, and buy dry wall
Ughh, DEATH to that drop ceiling.
So, basically it's like painting a normal wall...thx
🤣
Disney Matt you sand your walls before painting?
lol
😂😂😂
Lol
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.
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.
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.
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
The vertical cracks are a pain in the arse
I know you want to look good for the video but a red shirt whilst using white paint. Brave man.
The only thing that sux about painting paneling is when you done it still looks like paneling 😂
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
iI had my neighbor look at this video because his basement is all the same dark paneling well need less to say he used all the products in this video but its a disaster his wife said that he knows better than the video and he accidently use them in the reverse order he put the paint and primer from home depot satin white on first it think it was behr brand then he did the bin primer he had got at lowes he told her that the bin primer will hold the behr paint on the wall way better
he is going to be doing he neighbor on the other side of him next will what he did hold up or should we warn the neighbor to get someone else i think this guy drinks the whole time he is painting he also said tape i for girls and homeowners he slammed alot of ceiling and alot of parts of the floor he scrubbed it up but you can still see it can this be fixed
I don’t want the lines tho lol..
You can use paintable caulk between the lines and sand them down. :)
i really want to paint my walls. i hate it.
macabre children so paint them!
Real painters only use tape to hang their wet paint signs
