I am painting my son's bedroom blue. Half the room is wood paneling. I keep reapplying coats, but you can still see light brown in some areas. If I let the current coat dry, then go over those areas, will some place look lighter and darker in the end? Also, will you bee able to see the different strokes when the project is finished? Please help, I have to pick up my kids soon. They will be "camping" in the front room tonight though, lol! Thanks a bundle everyone.

Sanding it before would have been the right way to do it, that way the paint would have stuck. But now I'm not sure you can make it look right, maybe more coats will help? You can always remove the wood paneling if its just on drywall and then sand and paint.

When wall paint dries you wont see the brush strokes if you went in one direction while painting (up and down).
 
My suggestion is to get some primer and tint it with the blue color paint you are using. Just mix some of the paint in w/the primer and it will be tinted. Otherwise, you will just need to keep reapplying paint as you have been until the light brown is covered completely. The different strokes won't be very noticeable, unless you are globbing the paint on. Good luck!
