Need To Paint Your Outdated Wood Paneling? Keep Reading

As a professional painting contractor one of the more common problems that I come across in houses is wood paneling. Wooden paneling had its prime in the 1960s and 1970s, and has since become drab and out dated.

Long ago, faux paneling was used instead of sheetrock since it was simpler and more affordable to install. But natural faux paneling is dull and drab and makes most any room appear outdated.

Another option in addition to painting paneling is to replace it with sheetrock, however this is a very big and costly job in which you will probably need to hire a professional. Painting the paneling is a much more affordable approach to updating the room.

Paneling can be painted when you use the right materials. You can turn that dark and drab paneling into something beautiful in the course of a couple of hours. But there are a few more steps to painting paneling as opposed to painting sheetrock.

There are a few items that you will require to complete this project.

A Can Of Liquid Deglosser

Oil based Primer

Latex Wall Paint

Paint Roller

Paint Brush

Blue Painter's Tape

1. Deglossing

Start out by cleaning the paneling and using the blue painters tape and taping off ceilings, adjacent woodwork, windows and anywhere else that you are not going to paint.

Be sure that the room is well ventilated. Turn on fans and place it close to an open window.

Wooden paneling has got a natural gloss or shine to it. The first step in assuring that your paint will bond to the surface is to get rid of the gloss.

Using liquid deglosser is a good alternative to sanding the entire room and requires a lot less effort. Once it is applied, it gets rid of the gloss from painted and wood surfaces, allowing for primer and paint to better bond to the surface.

Utilizing a lint-free cotton rag, put on the deglosser thinly to the surface of the paneling . Allow for the deglosser to sit on the surface of the paneling for the amount of time which is recommended by the manufacturer.

Work across the walls in segments, deglossing and then priming the deglossed area. Deglosser is only effective for a set amount of time so the primer must be applied over the deglosser before it has completely dried.

2. Priming

You need to choose the right primer for your task. For wooden paneling, you need an oil based primer. This bonds better than water based and provides superior stain hiding coverage. Whenever you are going to paint a darker colored finish coat, it is a good idea to have your primer tinted to the color that you are going to paint with.

Put on the primer using a brush and roller. Use the brush to cut in around the corners and trim and prime into the channels of the paneling. Roll out the remaining wall.

3.Painting the Paneling

Lastly, apply the latex paint over the dry primer. Make certain to allow for the primer adequate time to dry prior to applying the paint.

Cut in along the edges and into the paneling's grooves with a paint brush, then roll out the remainder of the wall with a paint roller.

If needed, allow for the base to fully dry before applying an additional coat. Once you are finished you should remove all tape as soon possible. Whenever the paint has dried, run a utility knife along the edge of the tape to separate.

Painted paneling can make an enormous difference in the appearance and feeling of a room. Update your out of date and boring room by painting the paneling.

I'm looking for the exact same thing that is in the circle. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for you input, also I was wondering if these would help pick up more vocals.

Because I have two subwoofers, and those make most of the noise because they hit pretty hard. I also want to hear the actual lyrics to the song, and not just the bass.

So would tweeters help pick up more of the vocals ?

OK for one thank god for the picture or i would have had no idea what you were talking about. Those i just tweeters in the door, go to a electronics store i dont whats by you but american is where i bought mine. They can tell you the size that fits and what choices you have.
