Hello,
We have a room with 70's sheet panelling with thin grooves.It is
already painted white.There isn't anything behind the panelling so
ripping it out isn't an option. I want something different here but not
drastically different from the rest of the house which is drywall.
I once saw a room that the owner had just painted over the panelling
with a texture paint. He said he didn't use anything to fill in the
grooves. It looked like plaster.
My spouse thinks we should fill in the grooves , sand it down then
use the textured paint.This seems like a lot of trouble if it isn't
necessary.
Have any of you done this and what kind of paint would you recommend
?Its a large room so cost is a consideration. The look I am going for
is a subtle troweled look . I don't know what to call it. The color
would be a cream or light tan.
dont bother filling the grooves.
