Introduction
Ask any painting pro and they'll tell you that a great paint job follows great prep work, and that applies to wood paneling, as well. According to professional painter, Eric Regan of Mission Painting & Home Improvements, three factors underlie the preparation for any flawless paint job: a clean surface, a dry surface and a dull surface.
If you plan to apply oil-based paint, plan to stay somewhere else for a few days until the fumes disperse. According to Regan, you should plan to be out of the house for two days after the top coat is applied.
