If you prefer a flatter finish then our Ultimatt Emulsion would be the thing to use. Either way, bear in mind that if the panelling is currently varnished you will need to prepare the surface with a light sanding and a coat of Acrylic Primer Undercoat. In terms of colour there are many options - our advice would be to choose a shade of white rather than brilliant white - which one depends very much on the rest of the room but look out for 'Slaked Lime', 'Stock' and 'Joanna' all of which are versatile and popular in these circumstances.

I was wondering what would be the best paint for the job? Thanks in advance for any advice you are able to offer.
