[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 267062, member: 337"] I am going to replace the nearly black "oak" paneling in the basement. Must have looked Playboy cool back in the day - but now? YUCK. There are lots of new "faux" barn woods, etc. to choose from.... the choices are mind-boggling. Direct 4x8 panels of some sort would obviously be easiest - but choices are now limited since they're so out of style. (and a person knows why when they look at some of the newer stuff - eew) I'm looking for any good/bad experiences at replacing old school paneling with newer products.... shiplap, 4x8 panels, tongue/groove, etc. I've got maybe 50' of 8' walls that need new surface. I'd like to avoid nightmare install - or things I hadn't thought through if I go with "boards" vs panels. TIA! [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] We've even considered mudding and texturing the drywall underneath it - but they glued paneling on so that would suck... easier to replace that. Do they make a "faux texture" panel a guy can slap over the top of crap drywall so it just looks like orange peel textured drywall? And a person just paints it? [/QUOTE]
