I would be very surprised.... It's basically a ****ty 30 y old drywall job with the board backwards (or in any case paper facing me), ugly spackling with peeling tape, and wood paneling covering 30% of it... I don't see how that could be painted, over paper... If you meant over wood, not enough of it and it makes it hard to hang stuff anyway...
I don't see how that could look nice in any way shape or form, trust me I am lazy and if there was an easier way I'd pick it ;-)
Sounds like drywalling OVER the old drywall (I'll wank the wood) will save me a ton of work though. I'll go vertical then - thanks guys !
I'd like to stick with 1/4 to save weight, the walls look reasonably straight !
