I did this yesterday to 1 wall..it came out perfectly..it really is about patience tho! I used the same color too! At first it looked like you could see the putty lines thru the paint..1st they were lighter then it started to look like dark streaks..but as it dries you could NOT tell at all! I only used 1 coat..second coat is going down today! This test wall was the deciding factor on whether or not I was gonna do the whole house...and the verdict IS YES! IT LOOKS AMAZING..even tho it's a lot of extra work & a little extra expense..it is so worth it to me!

My mom found this video... now she’s having me completely redo her panels throughout the house. Thanks What the Fox!

This is easily the best video on YouTube for redoing wood paneling. I've watched probably 40 different videos and this one spelled everything out the best.

You're a lifesaver!

SO many houses have this paneling in basement. This is a great affordable upgrade idea!

Sheri is definitely a fox! Glad you mentioned the primer at the end because my OCD was kicking in

Caulk the grooves, let dry, then mud. Good job.

This is very easy to follow. Thank you so much! I'm looking to buy a house in Virginia, and there's a lot of houses with wood paneling and it's so dull, it reminds me of the 70's...yuuck! Now I don't have to dread buying a house with paneling. Thank you so much!!!

The best example of contrast and comparison I have seen.

nice video! If you use "speed set" joint compound from the start you usually do away with the normal joint compound shrinkage so no need to go over with a 2nd coat in most cases. Again nice video.

Great information can't wait to update my basement from the 70s!!!

[mickaylabates]

I found your video extremely helpful! This is a great cost effective strategy to fix dated paneling in my new home!

I spent three day days going all the way around a large family room prepping for paint. 1 lap sanding the paneling, then 1 coat primer, then three laps around the room spackling the paneling lines, letting the spackling dry for 24 hours in between each application, sanding in between every coat, 3 times around the room. Then it took another three days priming the walls over those spackling coats, and spot spackling where need in between paint coats to cover visible lines, right over the primer paint. Finally satisfied with the prep work after two weeks, it was time for color, a dark teal. The dark teal paint went on well, but it became evident two coats was going to be needed to cover the white primer. Satisfied with the coverage, after a couple of days we started seeing lines beginning to reappear. Apparently the spackling shrank and was only covered in spots where the spackling was applied very heavily...
The moral of this story; just do it right in the first place and take the paneling down and put up drywall.
We didn't save a thing by being cheap.
The room looks, ...OK, ....I won't be redoing it, but just be aware, no matter what you do, no matter how many weeks of un-ending tedious prep work you do,
those lines are never going to completely disappear. It is wooden paneling. Wood reacts to humidity changes, by expanding and contracting.
Perhaps if we used quick dry mud instead of spackle the coverage would have been better, but its still wood paneling. It's still going to react to humidity changes.

I'm in the process of buying a home that has a basement finished with wood paneling. This DIY video makes me feel more confident that I can easily update the space myself

A well-presented video. I just purchased a flip home that has a lot of paneling. Your technique will save me a lot of work. I also picked up some great pointers in the comment section below with our answers,
