I have seen people put putty in the fake dividing lines in the paneling. Sand it down and paint the paneling. I have also seen the same thing with wallpaper on the paneling.

A sheetrocker can mud over the ridges in the panels, then texture it like they would sheetrock.

That's a good solution.

I pulled my paneling. Replaced with Sheetrock. All the damn door trim needed redoing due to thickness. Trim base boards replaced.

Just mud and sand the groves.

I’ve seen a few rooms where paneling was painted. I was skeptical when I heard about it, but it works.

They did not mud the grooves, and it looked fine. There is a special primer that has to go on to make the paint stick.

I don’t even try to hide my wood anymore.

There is none.
