Painting over Paneling

[thiggy]

How much effort would one be willing to put into painting the walls of their place of employment? If the employer won’t have it painted and your daughter has her heart set on painting, I would just prime then paint over the paneling with a high-end wall paint. That is a whole lot less labor than removing the paneling and repair whatever may be found beneath it, and it won’t look too shabby either.
