My experience has been if the bare wood is a particle board type, which is common under cheap paneling like you sanded, that water based primers cause that particle board wood to swell up and crate bumps. That does not occur as much with oil based primers. Either way, if bumps appear after the wood has been primed, more sanding is required and then a second coat of primer must be added.

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow I just did a test of three primers on a scrap piece of shiny old wood paneling: Sherwin Williams Extreme Block, INSL-X Primall, and Kilz 2 All Purpose. Waiting 24 hours to cure, the fingernail scratch test failed to remove any primer. The dull screwdriver scratch test put a line mark but did not remove any of those primers. The sharp edge of a chisel started to remove the primer. This paneling is a laminate which I sanded with 220 grit and it had some spots down to bare wood. None of the bare wood spots swelled up. I would not hesitate to use any of these on my paneling repainting project on my next house I am moving to.

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow personally no, because I never use tinted primer on bare wood or cabinets. Tinting a primer gray for red paint I have done, because ot makes the red look better and hides well, but when you want the sticky adhesive bonding properly of a good primer for cabinets or wood or metal's it's best to avoid because tinting changes the property of the primer.

Hi Thanks for sharing your opinion. Some primers are not meant to be tinted, but A lot are. Many Primers say right on the Can that it can be Tinted using up to so many ounces of universal colorant per gallon. Many Bright and Deep colors require a tinted primer! I think many people who mix paint are not knowledgeable of what tint to use or that they may screw it up, so they say that you shouldn’t tint the primer because it will effect the adhesion. Have you had this happen to you?
