What's best procedure for preparing wood stained paneled walls to be painted? What type paint should be used
Answers:
I've tried just about everything but I've only found one method which really works to get paint to stick to varnish. First, sand the surface. Then, saturate a rag with liquid sandpaper and rub the surface until you feel it start to bite. Then brush on a coat of alkyd primer thinned with liquid sandpaper. The action of the brush over the surface helps work the primer in creating a bond. At this point you can top coat it however you like.
The sanding gives you a mechanical bond, and the liquid sandpaper gives you a chemical bond.
This system is much more labor intensive that the other systems which have been suggested, but ultimately all those other systems fail. There are all sorts of products which claim to work without sanding, and they'll work well enough to hold themselves. But as paint dries, it shrinks, which puts tension on the previous coat. Each coat of paint increases the tension until finally the point of weakest adhesion breaks loose.

Don't know try these:
wash the walls with a powdered cleaner called TSP & prime the wall with primer made for paneling then paint with a latex paint.
Clean the walls, prime with Kilz, then paint
Clean with TSP...
Prime with KILZ (water-based)...
Latex paint will work fine...
These are the same methods, that I always use.
I used steel wool and Liquid Sandpaper to prep mine then primed with Kilz.

Clean wall's first and sand lightly between coat's of primer (2) coats primer than paint your wall's one at a time and than carry on. One hour dying time apart.
