Painting over fake wood
Comments (1)Bonding primer. Like Sherwin William's PrepRite Bonding Primer. Here is a link that might be useful: More PrepRite Info...See Morepainting over wood paneling that has ALREADY been painted over?
Comments (4)Use a good latex primer, then 2 coats of satin or eggshell. The primer will prevent the paint from chipping. My one faux paneled wall has been painted 3 times with different colors and has never chipped. To make covering that color easier, have the paint store tint your primer with your new paint color....See MorePainting/covering ugly wood panelling
Comments (3)We had some ugly paneling in our last home and it was in my office. The problem with paneling is that it moves with humidity, heat and cold. I had my plasterer fill in the cracks and sand and then the man I hired to wallpaper put some kind of fabric-like material that was similar to interfacing that you use in sewing and then wallpapered over this. It worked out great and we lived there for 12 years with no problems. But there might be something new on the market now that is less labor intensive....See MorePainting over Wood Paneling thats has been previously painted?
Comments (2)I had to do a google search to see what French Grape looks like. It is a deep red, which is one of the more difficult colors to right. You will need a tinted primer and at least two coats of paint. You will want to go over the walls carefully looking for paint drips to sand down and any holes to fill. Your bottom photo is upside down on my screen. You need to decide what color to paint that trim piece above the baseboard molding. I would paint it white to match the baseboard. Yes, you can just move your furniture to the center of the room....See Morebrutuses
