The Best Wood for Shiplap “When it comes to water resistance (think bathroom walls), cedar works best. But if moisture is not an issue, you can make shiplap planks out of cheap, pine wood.”Secondly, do you paint shiplap before installing? Paint the wall the color you plan to paint the shiplap. Not only will painting it after not work all that well, it will tear up your brush and take forever (if you are using faux planks make sure and sand the edges before installation as well). Similarly, should you paint shiplap before installing? Painting the Boards: Apply a first coat of paint before placing the boards on your wall, because the gaps between the installed boards will be too narrow to fit even a detail paintbrush once the boards have been attached to the wall.Do you start shiplap from top or bottom?You can start applying shiplap either at the top or at the bottom of your wall. If you start at the bottom, gravity will work for you. If you start at the top, you’ll have to prevent each board from falling before you nail it in place.
