I did this yesterday to 1 wall..it came out perfectly..it really is about patience tho! I used the same color too! At first it looked like you could see the putty lines thru the paint..1st they were lighter then it started to look like dark streaks..but as it dries you could NOT tell at all! I only used 1 coat..second coat is going down today! This test wall was the deciding factor on whether or not I was gonna do the whole house...and the verdict IS YES! IT LOOKS AMAZING..even tho it's a lot of extra work & a little extra expense..it is so worth it to me!
Yes Girl! You got it! Patience is key and you get it! Please keep me posted you can even send me pictures to my email I love hearing feedback!💕 Sfox831@gmail.com Thank you!
@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox Thank you Sherri!! I can't even stop looking at that 1 wall..lol.. the transformation is AMAZING! It seriously looks like drywall. Everything had that cheap wood look, even the windows..but using white trim & the grey feels like a breath of fresh air! Now I've got to replace the flooring (Lord it looks like it's camouflage green 🙄) & do the other 3 walls. I will send you some pictures as soon as I get some "afters"..gotta purchase the light fixtures & get the furniture out of the way. This place is definitely a fixer upper (but that's a whole other story🤦♀️). Is that a southern accent I detect..😊..I'm in South Carolina!
This is easily the best video on TH-cam for redoing wood paneling. I've watched probably 40 different videos and this one spelled everything out the best. You're a lifesaver!
I'm weird I guess because I kinda liked my paneling but I am having to replace flooring and figured if I WAS going to remodel, now would be the time. Trying to get my living room, dining room paneling painted and my bedroom painted before the new flooring comes in
@@keellyxo I did. it is very tedious work, I lost patience and have lines in some places. I do LOVE it though, the room looks twice as big! It took me a full day to mud the lines, then another day to get it painted (but that might have been because my sister is a perfectionist and very meticulous)
@@teampenit perfect! Thanks so much- my husband doesn’t want to to do it when we get the keys to our new house. He thinks it will be a nightmare. So he’s going to paint all the cabinets while my mom and I do it 😂 I know it’s going to take awhile So I’ve prioritized which areas I want to do it.
I'm excited I found this I just got my first house and the ENTIRE WALLING IS WOOD PANELING AHHH! being a single mom and having LOTS of renovations to do.. this is SO HELPFUL plus gives me some thing to do as my son sleeps! thank you!
FrancescaJeanB I am excited for you! Remember to be patient and if you don’t mind a little more work you can always add texture but you still need to fill the grooves first, I am attaching a link just in case you want to kick it up a notch 😉 th-cam.com/video/iF-wJurKg04/w-d-xo.html Good luck and keep me posted!
nice video! If you use "speed set" joint compound from the start you usually do away with the normal joint compound shrinkage so no need to go over with a 2nd coat in most cases. Again nice video.
I spent three day days going all the way around a large family room prepping for paint. 1 lap sanding the paneling, then 1 coat primer, then three laps around the room spackling the paneling lines, letting the spackling dry for 24 hours in between each application, sanding in between every coat, 3 times around the room. Then it took another three days priming the walls over those spackling coats, and spot spackling where need in between paint coats to cover visible lines, right over the primer paint. Finally satisfied with the prep work after two weeks, it was time for color, a dark teal. The dark teal paint went on well, but it became evident two coats was going to be needed to cover the white primer. Satisfied with the coverage, after a couple of days we started seeing lines beginning to reappear. Apparently the spackling shrank and was only covered in spots where the spackling was applied very heavily... The moral of this story; just do it right in the first place and take the paneling down and put up drywall. We didn't save a thing by being cheap. The room looks,...OK,....I won't be redoing it, but just be aware, no matter what you do, no matter how many weeks of un-ending tedious prep work you do, those lines are never going to completely disappear. It is wooden paneling. Wood reacts to humidity changes, by expanding and contracting. Perhaps if we used quick dry mud instead of spackle the coverage would have been better, but its still wood paneling. It's still going to react to humidity changes.
I'm in the process of buying a home that has a basement finished with wood paneling. This DIY video makes me feel more confident that I can easily update the space myself
This is very easy to follow. Thank you so much! I'm looking to buy a house in Virginia, and there's a lot of houses with wood paneling and it's so dull, it reminds me of the 70's...yuuck! Now I don't have to dread buying a house with paneling. Thank you so much!!!
I'm new to your CHANNEL! I've watched COUNTLESS HOURS of VIDEOS on how to paint PANELING. By far YOUR VIDEO is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Thanks for SHARING. And for taking the TIME to EXPLAIN!🤩🤩🤩
I just finished doing this project and when I say it will beat you I mean it. Definitely a lot of work but the end result changed the whole look of the room
Thank you finely found someone that knows how to fix paneling correctly .... just purchased a mobile home and great home just wasn't happy with those panels , Now I don't have to pay someone to remove them then pay someone to hang drywall... I can DIY ..AGAIN THANK YOU !!!!
Brilliant. I'll be doing this tomorrow. My new house has a wall of painted paneling neaide the fireplace and ive neen figuring out what to so with it. This is it! Thanks!
A well-presented video. I just purchased a flip home that has a lot of paneling. Your technique will save me a lot of work. I also picked up some great pointers in the comment section below with our answers,
Your video was by far the BEST I have ever watched. I bought a 100 year old house and thought it was all plaster walls and then upon closer inspection bought a house that has many paneling walls. I am about to take this project on all by myself. Wish me luck. I will let you know how it turns out. I can post some before and after pictures when I finish. Love your videos and please, please keep them coming.
Think this is the first video that gave a clear up close view of the final product. I have about 600 sq/ft of basement that needs this. Should be a good weekend+ project. Alot cheaper than trying to track down someone to fix my plaster walls if I were to rip the panels down.
I've been struggling so much what to do with my wooden panels in the livingroom! Putting up a drywall would add the thickness to the wall and so much of a hassle to do it on my own... but this is something I could do myself! Thank you so much for the information and the video 🥰❤
Sharah Ahmath Jimenez you are welcome and thank you! If you don’t mind a little more work and would really like to hide The imperfections check out this video: th-cam.com/video/iF-wJurKg04/w-d-xo.html Super simple just takes a lot of patience, but looks fabulous when finished and you can do it before you paint after you have filled the grooves and sanded everything down, thank you again!
@what the fox! i’ve fone this all day and gonna paint in the morning after i do the final sand. SO FAR everything is great. a lot of work but really easy with your steps
Juan Yanez 🤣 I understand and good job! Pat yourself on the back and take a break from it, if any of the imperfections bother you too much just remember you can always go back and add mud or sand if you need to even if you have painted it, it can always be touched up and repainted that’s the beauty of it!
OMG yeeeeeesss thank you!! We have wood paneling and I've been looking at vids on how to paint, but I still wasn't happy that the panel look stayed... I'm stoked about this, thank you!!

April Naill your welcome and thank you! In the corners I would use corner beads I pinned a comment at the top on corner beads, Dietrich makes a great corner bead for this and easy to use, good luck and let me know how it turns out!
Iam so glad this actually works. lol I started this yesterday in a room didn't even think to look it up on you tube until tonight glad you're showing a excellent example it can be done now I can finish my project with confidence thanks
These are great tips!! Thank you for sharing this and for showing us a bad vs. good wall. That was very helpful! I feel like I can tackle my hideous paneling now!!
in the middle of doing this right now, came back to see what I am doing wrong because I still have lines, I thought maybe I had the wrong stuff or was applying incorrectly...reassured that having to go back over areas with more putty is ok!! this is almost like work! but I do love the finished look (I tried it on a small half wall in my kitchen first..WOW what a difference)!
Thank you so much for your instructional video. I want to put up peel and stick wall paper on one wall . I did not want the the grooves in paneling to show through . I have an old mobile home so I will doing this technique throughout the mobile home to give it an updated look. 🤗.
this is awesome!!! the mobile home that i purchased has really ugly paneling and i do not want to go through the hassle of putting drywall. your video was very helpful and i cant wait to start remodeling thank you so much
Lyrics4U you are welcome and thank you! Check out this video below If you don’t mind a little more work. th-cam.com/video/iF-wJurKg04/w-d-xo.html Super easy and you can apply the texture before you paint after you have filled your grooves and sanded them, but it gives great coverage for any imperfections you may still have left. Thank you again!
@@WhatTheFoxSherriFox thanks! Question, should I ligthly sand the wall panel before putting the joint compound? Or would the primer be good enough when I decide to paint
I looked for a video like this for days, not finding any I set out to try this. since I had a damaged piece that needed replaced I used it as my trial piece. Several things I found out, it took 3 applications of mud ( I used the powdered 45 min mix) to fill in the cracks. After priming the surface with Kilz I gave it a coat of paint then a second. And here's something I wonder if any body else came across. After the paint dried I still could see faint lines . I took some 120 grit sandpaper and went up and down on the lines of another piece of scrap and repeated the same process that seemed to have worked. This paneling is in a downstairs gameroom and is about 40 years old. The paint roller I used was for smooth surfaces and only 1/4 thick. I'm only half way done with this project and will switch to a 1 1/4 inch nap. Thanks for your video i believe you are the only one out there that has done this.
You are very welcome, and yes others have ran across the same thing if you don’t have enough mud sometimes you have too much and you just need to sand again 😉 thank you!
OMg so glad I found this Sherri thanks for covering this I had to downsized and I bought a mobile home that has paneling I ripped it out and replacerd with new and wood putty just didn't do the trick I can't wait to try this as this is for the guest bath and I want it to look exactly as the one I had in my full house before Lockdown happened :)
Super video. I watched others and they don't really get into resolving what I want to do. You explained things concisely and completely. NOW I am ready and informed of how to do my project (the whole house!). Thank you so much. Great job explaining.
I've been doing this to one of my bedrooms but I found that I need to put a heavier coat on so the groves are truly invisible once dry. I saw one section of a wall I tested on, added drywall primer to prevent flashing then I painted afterwards. I was still able to see the grove if the light hit it the right way by just adding enough mud to fill the gap flush.
@@ChristopherJones16 - Basically, when you use drywall mud to patch an area and don't use primer on it before painting, you can see exactly where it was applied if light reflects off it at the right angle. It happens because the mud absorbs the paint, but primer seals it. Supposedly there's a type of drywall mud that doesn't need to be primed from what I heard though.
I did this yesterday to 1 wall..it came out perfectly..it really is about patience tho! I used the same color too!

@@YoungBlaze absolutely… I don’t see why you can’t however, you still need to fill the grooves because it will show through the wallpaper
agreed. I was ready to rip out the panelling or put thin sheetrock over it. This is a much better option.
SO many houses have this paneling in basement. This is a great affordable upgrade idea!

You are very welcome, and yes others have ran across the same thing if you don’t have enough mud sometimes you have too much and you just need to sand again 😉 thank you!
Nice video, I have paneling glued and nailed to 1/2 in plywood so I definitely didn't want to demo and drywall. Will definitely be trying this
Keep me posted!

Giuliana CR you are welcome! Thank you!
I've been doing this to one of my bedrooms but I found that I need to put a heavier coat on so the groves are truly invisible once dry. I saw one section of a wall I tested on, added drywall primer to prevent flashing then I painted afterwards. I was still able to see the grove if the light hit it the right way by just adding enough mud to fill the gap flush.
what's "flashing"?
@@ChristopherJones16 - Basically, when you use drywall mud to patch an area and don't use primer on it before painting, you can see exactly where it was applied if light reflects off it at the right angle. It happens because the mud absorbs the paint, but primer seals it. Supposedly there's a type of drywall mud that doesn't need to be primed from what I heard though.
Is dry wall mud the same as what she used in the video?
@@GmarSt1 - Drywall mud or drywall joint compound is the same. The latter being what the label will say.
OMGGGG thank you !!!!
😊
