My 1970’s den is paneling that has been covered with wallpaper liner and then grass cloth. What am I going to have to remove to be able to paint? Or should we remove paneling and put up drywall?
Have you checked to see if there is not drywall under the existing paneling? If so, you may do a better job with less work by removing the paneling, filling in the nail holes in the drywall then painting.
