I live in a mobile home and therefore have panelling and no drywall. I want to paint one of my rooms with a technique I saw not to long ago. It involved painting two colors on the wall with a brush. Once it dries, your supposed to take tisse paper to the wall, slightly wrinkled, and put a glaze on top of it. My concern is this: some of the panelling has a texture of small bumps and the other part has stripes. I'm not worried about the stripes because they are so slight in their gradient but the bumps I am worried about. Do you know if this technique will work on textured walls like this?
Also, to select and prepare a glaze for this type of job, what would you suggest?
Thank you,

Clean the paneling with something on the order of spic and span to remove all the hidden dirt and grime that always winds up on the walls anywhere.
Prime the panels with a good primer sealer such as Zinsser 123 to help block the prior color and to prepare the surface for bonding the new paint. Then proceed with your treatment.
This will probably work fine on the bumpy surface. It will have its own unique appearance.
Hope this helps.
