Need advice on interior Paneling - erniecarpet@... - 11-27-2007 05:57 John, you could paint your paneling.

It's in pretty nice shape, but I think it would be a lot nicer if it was lightened up. I have been considering wall papering over the paneling. I've had a little bit of reluctance to do this fearing I might not be happy with the results. Any suggestions would be appreciated and of course opinions pro and con. John Heckman central Pa 1973 FC Need advice on interior Paneling - Pete Masterson - 11-27-2007 08:11 The early BBs seem to have a plastic laminate (Formica) wall covering, if I'm not mistaken. Some wall papers may not stick to this very well -- and some adhesives might also not work too well. A self- stick (pre adhesive coated) wall covering might work best. I also note that one of the canned spray paint companies is advertising a product that claims to stick to plastic without any special preparation (other than thorough cleaning). -- So, repainting with such a paint might be an alternative. The wall paper in my coach (past the era of all Formica) was looking rather tired, so I covered it with 1/8 inch thick cork -- leaving the cork in a natural color. It looks sort of like a bulletin board. The cork can be painted, if desired, but that would cut the sound absorption quality that it has. I note that the cabinetry in my coach is finished in plastic laminate (Formica) that's an off-white color that makes the interior seem much brighter than coaches with natural wood finishes. (One of the attractions of the coach to me.) Pete Masterson '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 aeonix1@...

I am looking for what has worked for others. I just don't want to take a big step backwards on this because the paneling is not looking bad its just that it would brighten up the interior. I am concerned about the paper sticking. Unless some one comes up with a better suggestion I'll paint it first and then maybe try to paper over that. I think that is usually what is suggested as the way to handle covering paneling anyways. My cabinet maker stopped today and got the door fronts for the kitchen his is going to redo them in a white formica to match the sink tops and upper cabinets. That will finish the kitchen. Little by little. I didn't get the idea of bleaching and clear coat. It's formica I don't think you could bleach that but I am all ears if its been done.

Interesting concept, as we were thinking of either wallpaper or painting, but leaning toward the painting. Bill 84 FC 35 SB "$quanderlodge" Terrace, B.C.

I am pleased with what I was able to accomplish. I painted the Formica with a latex primer and then applied the wall paper. It was the prepasted stuff but not trusting that I also applied additional pre-mixed paste. It seems to be sticking well, no particular problems. I also tackled one of my other issues which was a mismatched captains chair. I figured that I would have to have it recovered but I thought since it was a "cheap fix" I decided to try the duplicolor paint for vinyl and fabric. I was really impressed with that material. Drying very quickly and seems to be very flexible and should do the job. Time will tell of course, I think it may very well save me from a rather expensive recover on a seat that is rarely used.
