I used an interior paint, satin finish. It worked so great

What paint and primer brand would you recommend. This would be a first for me, to paint over faux wood paneling.

Hi Chelsey. We actually just used a flat light colored mess up paint from Home Depot for the primer. As for the second coat, we used a semigloss cottage white to reduce on the fingerprint marks from the kiddos! Hope that helps.

Ours is the older, shiny paneling too. I used Dap, Acrylic Latex Caulk plus silicone, in brilliant white. I love this stuff because it is paintable and dries quickly. Also, if there is a lump in it, and it’s still tacky to the touch, you can wet your finger with water and smooth it out!

Our is that shiny paneling so its not even real wood type, so I am wondering if your process works for this kind of wall treatment?

I am SO impressed with your dedication. I had to remove one layer of wallpaper in my bathroom after we had a water leak. That was such a pain that I swore there would never be another piece of wallpaper hung in my home! And you are right – all your hard work paid off – it looks great!
