Rinse with clear water and dry. Prime the paneling with a glossy-surface primer. Finally, apply one or two coats of acrylic-latex wall paint. <P>To Wallpaper <P> To wallpaper, prepare and clean as described above and remove moldings at the top and bottom of the panels. Apply a heavy-duty liner or backing paper, sold at wallpaper stores. This will span the grooves to create a smoother surface. After the liner dries, apply regular wallpaper in the usual way. Paint the moldings to match and reinstall. <P> Remember, these tips are only general guidelines. Since each house and situation is different, contact a professional if you have questions about a specific condition or issue.
