How Do You Paint Wood Paneling In Stripes?
Wood paneling covers walls in many homes, old and new. Wood darkens and is less reflective over time. Valuing wood over paint or not knowing what to do with the paneling makes it difficult to decide on a change. Brighten your living space, and make your rooms appear larger with light tones of paint. Enliven your room with stripes. Painting stripes can bring a touch of class and elegance to any wall. With a well laid out plan, mistakes can be eliminated, and your job will run smoothly. Take your pictures off the walls, move your furniture to another room and cover the floor with a drop cloth. Fill in any holes and chipped spots using the putty knife. Then sand the paneling. Use a broom to sweep the dust from the wall. Tape the ceiling or molding where it meets the wall. Make sure you tape any other areas where you do not want paint. Pour primer into the paint tray. Cut in edges with a paint brush at the ceiling, the floor and the corners. Be sure to cover the grooves between the panels.
