Painting over Paneling

5 Steps to Painting Paneling

​​Are you tired of the dark light-absorbing brown of the wood paneling in your home? You need to paint it. If you want to make your space bright and renewed, you have no other option. After all, painting is a great way of remodeling your home. So what should you expect a painting service to do?
​Step 1: Sanding the Paneling
There are a number of painters who know the benefits of sanding before painting wood paneling. Expect Jacksonville painters to use a 100-grit sandpaper to make the smooth surface of the paneling rough. They then use a cloth to wipe the wall of the dust left behind. Your painting contractor will then use a chemical to wipe down any traces of the paneling’s old finish.
​Step 2: Priming the Wall
House painting shouldn’t be done without first applying a latex primer. This will give the wood paneling the ability to take on the paint without blistering or peeling. Although this is an old concept, residential painting, will have to maintain this to cover the color and grain of the paneling. Avoiding this step would mean you have to use three or more coats of paint to adequately cover the paneling. A painting contractor would first tint the primer to match the color of the paint. That would mean using fewer coats.
​Step 3: Filling in the Grooves
Getting rid of the grooves in the paneling is as simple as using spackle or a joint compound to fill them. Don’t be in a hurry. First, wait for the primer coat to be applied. Painters understand that’s the only way it will adhere properly. For a semi-gloss finish coat, Jacksonville painters ensure the spackle is primed as well. Then they can apply the semi-gloss paint.
​Step 4: Brush Cut In
Your painting contractor is likely to paint three inches inward along the edges and corners of the walls with a paintbrush before they start working on the wall surface with a roller. Jacksonville painters usually make the margin wide enough to cover areas where the roller cannot reach. The same thing applies to other areas where the roller is likely to scrape and mark adjacent floors and ceilings.
​Step 5: Painting the Paneling
Painting with a roller is faster and more convenient than when you are using a brush. Professional painters use rollers to apply the first coat of the paint. Painting the grooves with a brush is what follows. The roller can then be applied to hide the brushstrokes. Alternating between the brush and the rollers should produce a great job.
​
​Professional painters never use the brush on the second coat. Who wants the glaring signs of brush stroke lines? That’s why only rollers will be used on the second coat. After all, the groves are already covered.
