You two are a great team! Few points I have learned painting would include washing your panels with a good TPS solution and water first. Then do your caulking and repairs THEN prime. Two coats for that paneling would probably have been better since going with a white top coat. Also water based on oil based is best after oil based can cure for at least 3 days. Jut some tips for long lasting paint job. Love u guys!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Ahh great tips Monique! Thanks! 😁😁

You know y’all have a good channel when I’ll watch through the whole video even though I don’t have any plans of painting wood panels! Can’t wait to see what y’all do with the new house, and I realyyyyy can’t wait to see the airstream bathroom!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Haha well thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad we can make painting entertaining! 😊

[@dandeve]

Exactly! No painting plans at all.

[@seanwhitman799]

I agree about not painting wooden panels. To me it's a crime.

[@richardtreiber6287]

Same the deep KZbin recommendations

[@amydillardGypsySoul]

I always say that paint is the easiest and cheapest way to transform a room or piece of furniture- you really proved that here! It looks awesome. Congrats on your new house; can't wait to see what you will do with it!!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Absolutely! 💯 It’s amazing what some paint can do!

[@tiffanytayon3181]

What an amazing transformation of that space! Can’t wait for the new to you house renovation!!!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks! We are excited to get started! We are filling our time with other projects 😂

[@pearlhartney9]

Looks great guys! What a nice cousin you are! I sanded my pine floor boards and used wood lye to bleach them a pale colour which is what the Scandinavians use.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Wow that sounds awesome I’d love to see a photo! 😍

Hey that room turned out very nice. Amazing what you did there with that old pine. Hard to believe that orange look was so very popular in the 50s and 60s.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks James! It turned out even better than we thought! 🤩

I sprayed a house with Kilz without a carbon filtered mask (used a respirator with the particle filters). I was high as a kite for hours afterwards.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Hah I’ve made that mistake too! 😵‍💫 Gotta use the pink filters!

[@ValerieReynoldsR]

Lmao i painted a room with kilz once without a mask . Oooof

[@Stephanie-en6tb]

Made this mistake, too! It was horrible.

[@sofo3308]

Great job guys

[@dot2dal]

I thought this was going to be your new house! But I’m still excited for your video!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Still 2 weeks till we can get in!!! We are anxious to get in there!

@@JAMIEANDSARAH hope your move goes well. Will you have time to do some Renno’s before you have to move out of your house? Doing Renno’s while you live in your house is hard for a family- speaking from experience!

[@marianso2711]

The rooms looks so much bright and better! I have an a-frame with all wood interior walls that are varnished. I need to sand all that varnish before applying the oil based primer, right?

[@ssetty2076]

Do you need to sand the panel before priming it?

[@danicauzelac4688]

Wow looks very nice 👍

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

[@verleevt4225]

What? I cant believe how good this turnt out. I cant wait to afford my first home to renovate :))))

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

😊😊

[@keyboardtek]

So is it not important to wash the paneling first? No need to sand or degloss the clearcoat first?

[@deboz8793]

I wonder that too. 🤔

[@SJ-fx8gu]

No Sanding first?

[@keyboardtek]

@@SJ-fx8gu So I made a test piece of scrap paneling. I used four different brands of primer. I did not sand the paneling at all. I let it dry for two days. Then I used my fingernail to see which primer scraped off easiest. I could not scrape any of the brands off! They all bonded very tight. So when I ultimately painted the paneling in my basement, I did just use a fine sandpaper block to take the sheen off the surface just for extra adhesion. But I probably did not need to do that. I used a water based primer as well. The only change I made to oil based primer was when I had stain wood shelving to paint over. The stained wood does require an oil based stain blocker primer.

[@ktloffsalot]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This has helped me so much!!

[@Xoletta]

Almost a year later, is there any bleedthrough?

[@livingunjaded]

Amaaaazing what a coat of paint can do for a room! Looks so good 👌

[@tinasawyer9751]

What if an oil based primer was not used first and the stain is bleeding through? Can the oil base be added after the fact and then paint over that?

[@rock612on]

Great job! I was going to suggest- That brass fireplace insert could use an update to make the room feel more modern too

[@valeriaa_yazminn]

I’m so excited I came across your channel! We have the same exact paneling and we are about to paint and we are using this method! What is the color of that paint?

[@Them353]

Also did or do you wash the panels first?

[@cookinitmax]

Just watched this. I heard you talking about patching some pin holes from nails, but not patching up the Knott's from the knotty pine knotts in the wood . I know if people are looking for a smooth surface them knotts will have to be sanded first then patch because with out it you'll have alot I mean a lot of pin holes showing after painting white shows everything speaking frome experience. I did a new bathroom and all the knotty pine knotts needed what i just talked about. I say if you dont caulk every line where the two boards fit together you'll have open cracks so a ton of work is needed 1.I suggest sanding all knotts first for smooth finish if you dont want smooth finish then skip but it wont look as nice. 2.vacum cobwebs and any dust off walls . 3.wash walls do it dont miss this step wash afer spackling and sanding. 4. Fill spackle any holes then sand vacuum again yes again. 5.Do youre caulking last let set over night you don't want dust to stick to it if you need to sand something else. 6. Do your final look around touch up anything you missed. 7.Tape off anything you dont want paint on use good tape i use green frog tape making sure when taping to press firmly on the tape making sure you get a good seal so you dont get paint running back on to anything you dont want paint on. I say masking taping takes a good amount of time if i say if you want it done correctly. 8.Prime use good oil based on wood dont chance it trust me do two coats especially on wood with lots of knots. 9. Paint then after painting you making sure to take off tape after paint dries dont wait because if you wait a day or two you could peel paint off walls. 10 have fun make it fun if you don't it will take even longer.😢

[@joannagomez5557]

Can I used a brush or a roller will the kilz?

[@janinerobinson4750]

I have had a really brilliant idea, I live in a Victorian house in England and I need my wood panelled bathroom painted white and restyled. It will be great practice for you for your new English style house, I am in London, so if you turn up around 4pm I can provide afternoon tea?

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

😂 We LOVE that idea! We hope to make it back to London some day🥰

Such a transformation with just painting! What sprayer model did you use? Thanks.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks 😊 it is just an airless sprayer from harbor freight. We paid about $180 for it

[@joannwesolosky4768]

Very good advise! Thank you😊

[@flexhex3334]

Did you not sand before you primed? Just wondering as I really can't be asked to prime but have been told I have to

Thanks

That’s knotty pine Big bucks back in the day I’m getting ready to paint the cheaper thinner kind

[@lizcole9836]

Can you guys please add a detailed list of all the products you used? Thanks!

[@andrewflees4568]

KZbin is reading my mind. I've been thinking about painting my wood panels but didn't know where to start. Well here it is... Thanks for the knowledge. Question if I may, would it turn out good if I were to hand brush and roller it or is the spray gun the only way to go now a days?

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

It would look good with rollers and brush, but it will take you a bit longer 😊

[@peteryang92]

Is this wood paneling different from cedar wood?

[@olgacampbell3918]

[@marisa3d]

Beautiful transformation! How much paint did you end up using for that room?

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks! We used 2 gallons of primer and almost 3 gallons of paint 😳 The sprayer uses a little more paint but saves a TON of time 👍

[@Jemgirl152]

Was the wood grain really rough to start? Can you see the wood grain through now that it's been painted?

[@Them353]

I have almost the same space and was undecided on how to change it. You guys have made it easy for me to go do it with the paint but do you think sheet rock could be another option and if so would it be cheaper for that size space? Great job!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Sheetrock would definitely be way more expensive…paint is the way to go! 😊

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

I love it!

[@buckadoon]

What kind of a sprayer do you use?

[@peter6917]

I want to do the same but with varnished ceilings, but really important question... do you not need to lightly sand first?

[@SJ-fx8gu]

Wondering the same thing? How long will the paint last if the boards are not Sanded first? Hmmm....

[@anthonycosentino6504]

Any tips for avoiding expansion/contraction cracks when painting a project like this?

[@richardplatt2020]

That’s what I would be afraid of

[@t2motherhood585]

I think my panelling is the thin fake stuff. Would i still need an oil based paint to start?

[@walterlodzinski6847]

Can you simply brush the killz oil on first instead of spraying? I’m really hoping to not have to sand my pine walls first lol

[@garretthoppes5058]

Looks so good! 😎

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks Garrett! 😁

[@sashasanchez2583]

I woulda out that cup of water in the van after u poured it all out to get every last bit lol

[@buddymavy823]

If you don’t want to run oil base through your spray rig, 2 coats of water base Killz 3 will block the tannins as well.

[@boring.doerings]

We used to live in house with that knotty pine….yuk! Love the white…

[@vaderladyl]

I think is pretty. All natural wood is beautiful.

[@faisal8683]

Old one was vintage and classy

[@anetaptackova3468]

Good job guys! 👍 Only shame is the bricks did not stay original color, but I gues it was not your choice 😉

[@cecilia3746]

We used water based stain

[@blondiekt2291]

Do you need a oil based paint also or no

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Nope just primer

[@scotthester2189]

FYI you can used Woodscapes latex stain by Sherwin Williams to stop tannin bleed, just used on a recent product over cedar paneling interior walls in a great room, you can also use Sherwin Williams exterior latex primer as well. Just some other options if you don’t like using oil paint.

[@juanpaulr]

Ok the wood pine looked very good. I am not sure why anyone would put paint over nice wood. Looks good but just white paint. The earthiness is mostly gone. Good job though.

[@vaderladyl]

Yeah from gorgeous wood to boring white.

[@PleadTheFifth_Racing]

Ya'll are monsters for painting over that beautiful paneling. I'm currently trying to remove the paint from the original paneling in my home.

@@JAMIEANDSARAH Great video though and the room turned out very nice.

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

I paint cars. In lacquer. Our opening shot shows the classical paint stroke error. At the bottom we see a curve form as the nozzel moves up. To do this properly you need to get yourself down low and then stand up otherwise you do this:: ) along the wall. So you need a step as well, to keep the gap the same as you get to the top. This wall is not a Porsche etc and you are using a brush or roller to even things out so the ) issue isn't so critical as it is in car paint. . I've worked with house painters and this ) motion is common. And it can cause problems but a brush helps cover a multitude of sins. With cars you must be very precise. Otherwise you get a dry speckeled texture at the top and bottom and no brush will make it right. says mr know it all

[@bradbishop-atfulldraw7491]

I liked the wood much better but that’s just me.

[@vaderladyl]

Not only you but many of us.

[@rodgoshorn2711]

Why would you paint such a beautiful wall?

[@vaderladyl]

I know right?

[@SJ-fx8gu]

I lived in a house with beautiful wall paneling, timber kitchen, and hardwood floors. I love wood but the darkness it created was so damn depressing. Had to have lights on during the day. I found it hard to come to terms with painting the timber. After a long time of stressing about it, I painted the kitchen and the dado walls in a light color. Best thing I ever did. Should have done it years ago!!!

[@sweetmslovinglife]

Looks like paneling, white paneling.

[@hllymchll]

you look like a nicer prettier brie larson 😂

[@k.stacey7389]

The “right way” is to leave the wood alone. Save the next person who doesn’t have hideous basic taste from having to strip that paint off.

[@vaderladyl]

Exactly. So basic.

[@darthilli]

Stop doing this, you’re taking away a natural timber look that’s original

[@koltred]

use latex paint on primer
