I have a flip coming up in an A neighborhood (solid middle to upper-middle class, nice neighborhood).

I hate paneling.  But do I paint it or remove it and put up drywall?  Maybe one of you wizzes can show me in photoshop what it would look like painted.

Im no pro in this, but does this help? I think it looks good if done correctly.

Edit:
On a rental I would paint it.
A flip, probably would drywall it up.  

Check out this article on painting it: Painting Wood Paneling
