How To Paint Wood Paneling - Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer

In this video, Ryan explains how to paint wood paneling. This is a frequent question we get asked and it is important to know that painting the wood paneling will save you a lot of money instead of ripping the paneling out.

We used Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer for this project and were extremely impressed with it in our review.
the coating held firm to the wall even when Ryan scratched it with his keys.

Save Money! Dont Replace your wood paneling! Just Paint it!

I've found it is very important to wait 24 hours for the water based primer to cure. It appears to dry very fast and many painters coat over the primer too soon. The next layer of water based paint causes the primer to dissolve and creates unnecessary bleeding. Then of course said painter complains about the water born primer even though it is 100% user error.

I have a couple of questions.
1) Did you just use soap and water to clean the paneling?
2) From what I gathered from the video, you didn’t do a sanding at all, just the Sherwin Williams Extreme Primer, correct?

Thanks, John Gallagher

We bought a house with gray panels out on the enclosed porch and want to paint it white..do i still need to use a bonding primer or will regular primer be fine?

[landisjohnson]

Do you need to sand if the paneling and cabinets are smooth with no rough textures?

[noorelsharif]

Do you think this primer is better than the zinsser 123 for paneling/varnished trim/etc?

[Angela-mkxn]

What kind of paint can I use on top of the primer

[elizabethlawson]

Do you need to do the primer if your wood paneling is real wood?

[myrnaloy]

Can you use Swiffer wet wipes mopping to clean i

[janeckardtbutler]

I am glad I watched this through to the end... I will now get the Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer instead of the Zinzer oil base primer.

[kelliinezlopez]

So after the extreme bond primer. Do you just paint over that ?

[jessicahendricks]

I have honey oak cabinets that I'm painting. I'm doing a white and I'm worried about tannins showing through? Do you think it's safe to just use SW Extreme Bond, or do I need to use a sealer first? EB first or a sealer first?

What’s the best method to paint knotty pine white? Also, would this work for kitchen cabinets that have a wood veneer front?

[landisjohnson]

Do you need to sand if the paneling or cabinets are smooth?

[alexperez]

My question is: the paneling that I have is raped with plastic, could I use the same material?

[billshultz]

not sure I learned much here. The homeowner did the priming, you showed us a gallon of paint. Where exactly is the how to part?

[genew]

I hope he plans on using either an eggshell finish or a semi gloss finish. You cannot clean flat paint and it looks so cheap

[johnhelton]

This time I will use Woodglut plans for this.

Looks horrible. Best to slap some mud in the cracks, skim coat if necessary, sand and paint

[dznutzfoo]

A little lazy work....try using compound in the grooves to make it look like drywall...looks shitty just painting
