Omg this was so much easier and helpful. Almost every video you watch on fixing small holes are cracks on UA-cam, they make it so much more harder then it should be. This is the way I been doing it and it’s so much easier
Wish I watched this video before I started my paint project. I will apply these techniques on the next two rooms I'll be painting, and possibly go back and fix issues I had with the other rooms.
I had to get rid of my home office once my kids came. Now im looking to setup my garage as an office area when I work from home. My garage has this type of ugly wood panelling (used to be a room but was converted to a 2 car garage) so I need to either get rid of it or do exactly this. This is a way cheaper option than removing all the walls and putting up drywall.
Wouldn't it be easier just to replace that paneling with drywall and doing one tape across it And then mudn't drywalls pretty cheap. I'm asking because I'm doing a flip house and it's all paneling
Depends on the comps and price point more than anything imo. If the comps have already updated to drywall it's probably worth the extra cost if you can net more on the sale. Drywall would add material and labor cost...more than you might think depending on how much.
I wonder if the latex paint (water base) is still stick properly to the old paneling ?! I have massive job next month to cover 4 bedroom's wall panels by myself 😭 I taught I should use oil based paint over shinny wood paneling instead of water base (latex)
No issues so far. In my experience the latex Kilz has been great as a primer and stain blocker (without the fumes of the oil based) over many different surfaces. From online reviews I've read, if it adheres initially, it will maintain adhesion for as long as other primers. Good luck with your project!
What's the best type of paint to use on panel? I'm buying a home and the basement has a shiny brown panel. It's not too bad, but I'd like to brighten it and paint over it.
@@kimberly0717 To avoid the paint peeling on the shiny surface, it's recommended to use a primer (oil or latex based, depending on if you can handle the fumes) first. On top of the primer, you can use any paint you want, as long as it is compatible with the primer. Most oil and latex based primers can be painted over with the more common latex paints available at big box stores.
Significantly more time and labor, with no functional difference. Plus (like this house), the panels were attached directly to the concrete blocks of the foundation, so either need to glue the drywall or put up framing.
I followed pretty closely but now have one wall of 5 that the joint compound is chipping off. The 2 primers I tried are not covering much of any of the walls. I used Zinsser first and it goes on like water. I bought PVA (my son said it’s thicker). It’s a little better but not much. I chipped off the bad wall and now... no idea how to cover and fix. Anyone? - Old grandma trying to DIY😩
I'm surprised you had issues with Zinsser it's been pretty good in my experience. Easy thing to miss but might make sure it's thoroughly stirred. If all else fails, Kilz will do the job, but you'd need to wear a VOC respirator if it's unventilated. From what I understand, the joint compound is falling out of the panel joints in small pieces? Without seeing it, I'd say there is either a contaminant causing bad adhesion, or it might just take more force with the joint knife to really push the compound into the joint.
Game of Life Yes, I went back and applied more pressure to the lines. It took a good 7-8 coats of the PVA to finally cover. Your video was super helpful along with your reply. Thank you!!!

Such a professional! Really enjoyed this and the final results speaks for itself :).
Thank you my church have huge panels on the wall and this video help
Thank you for the tips. Great job on your project.
Thank you so much, this was so helpful!

good job it answered my problem most of all I save money thanks.😂😀
Very good video thanks!
Looks great!
That was helpful, thank you!
What is the name of the tool you used to clean your walls? My room looks exactly like yours so I will be doing your technique.
Very well done mate 👍
honest good man 😊🌹
Thank you enjoyed your video.
Very helpful. Thank you
I'm thinking remove paneling and repair sheetrock. Seems a cleaner look.
If it's a smaller job you might as well, sheetrock is pretty cheap anyhow.
Will the compound chip out of crack over time?
No, the Killz 2/3 primer will seal it immediately.
Thank you so much!!

We don't have latex kilz here in Australia ,I should find something similar

Game of Life thank you for that information. I plan to buy the paint from Sherwin Williams. I love their paint.
Very helpful. I'm wondering how you got the glue off the walls?
Most of it came off with the panels and ripped the drywall paper off, anything left I used a scraper.
@@gameoflife7235 what do you do to treat the exposed drywall paper before applying mud over it? I don’t think I heard you mention that in the video.
Why would I do this vs just removing and installing drywall?
Significantly more time and labor, with no functional difference. Plus (like this house), the panels were attached directly to the concrete blocks of the foundation, so either need to glue the drywall or put up framing.
I have come to a conclusion that repairing drywall and especially matching texture is an art form not for the weekend warrior like me. :-)
Hello whats the paint color you used on the paneling
It’s very close to Powell Buff.

One more thing, YES you are right! The zinsser needed way more stirring.
Looked better before tbh
just put in drywall for f sake
covering wood paneling = still ugly
