Having done this before. You are going to see the lines based on what I have seen on this vid. Especially when light hits and shadows. Need more than one coat to do it right. The seems where the panels butt up have to be glued and secured properly because of expansion and contraction. Or they well crack over time. Its a ton of work to do it right. But if your a novice at sheet rock. Might be the way to go. Dont need to remove paneling. Do not run your hand up and down to feel if it is smooth. Run hand horizontally. Then you well see just how bad it really feels. lol . If you have sheetrock experience. Just do it that way. More professional looking when completed and quicker.

Thanks brother! We followed your exact advice and our rooms look fantastic. Did take us 3 -4 coats of the Dry Dex to get a great smooth surface. But A-1 advice!!

Hi Anthony,
I’ll be doing something similar in a house that I’m renovating in order to rent it out. The paneling in this house is ridiculous! Rather than that spackle, I’m wondering if Bondo that’s usually used on cars would work better to fill in the cracks? I’m only filling in the top half of the walls, adding molding to appear as chair rail on the bottom half.

It looks like a different place! Great color!

The first coat of anything over it once its dry is old school oil based kilz primer. Or else it'll scratch right off. Just wipe it down with tsp, kilz it then paint it looks fine that way and much less mess.

Great video. Im going to do this next week.

So you didn't sand the shine off the paneling before applying the joint compound?

[FarrPearson]

I wish I would’ve known this before I pulled all the wood panel and now I don’t know what to do. 😂😂

So much easier to screw in 1/4 inch drywall and then mud the seams and screw holes imo

Another one bites the dust. I love those old panneling rooms.

4:43 mine I used roller instead brush 😊I put primer in it .

[GvnjaTV]

How long did this take ? Could this be done in a weekend with a team of like 2 adults and two teenage boys?

[therivereater]

You really painting that whole wall with a brush?

[christinsley]

Not knocking you but man drywall panels are like 13 bucks a pop, it would have been so much easier and faster with a better finish, also need some oil based primer before paint.

I just did this. It looks horrible. Once the white paint was up you can see all the panels are slightly warped.

I swear you're from Indiana, haha. I've got the same stuff in my basement. Interested to see your new flooring install

Doing what your doing Will always crack no matter how much you spackle the cracks the only correct way to do it is to drywall tape the joints which it would be less labor intensive to just start over with new drywall I'm a painter and drywall tradesman for 15 years now and one thing i don't use anymore is that crappy pink spackling it is not good stuff at all i just love guys like this making videos on how not to do something lol.
