Steps

Step 1

Measure and Cut panelling to size using your track saw.

Step 2

Place panelling on wall, connect the panels using the Gorila glue at the joins. The panelling will click into each other. 

Step 3

Secure VJ Panelling to wall with nails.

Step 4

Fill Nail holes and Joins and allow to dry. Here is the product I used.

Step 5

Once dry lightly sand filler.

Step 6

Use painters tape to tape up surrounding areas before painting I used Frog Tape.

Step 7

Cut in using a brush, for this project I chose to use a smaller brush to minimise any thick cutting in lines. This part can take a while so avoid any thick layers of paint as they may start to dry before you use your roller leaving "thicker" lines.

Step 8

Once you've cut in, Use a roller to paint the rest of the panelling. You will need to do two coats.

Step 9

Once the paint is all dry, add a trim of your choice. Fill Nail Holes and once dried sand and tape up for painting. Frog Tape is great for freshly painted surfaces.

Step 10

Once you're done, Style as desired.

Hello @monochromehaus 

Thank you so much for sharing the steps and materials of your boy's bedroom makeover project. The paint finish on those EasyVJ panels is superb. I love the wallpaper you've chosen, and those extra details with the Marvel heads is just fantastic. I'm sure your boy love's the new look of his room.

Many thanks for sharing.
