Wood or emulsion paint on part wood part plastered wall

[Wacattack]

Hi, I have a platered wall that has some wooden paneling on it. I'm trying to decide whether to use standard wall emulsion for the whole thing, or wood paint.

I don't want to go to the extent of using wood paint on the wood and emulsion on the plaster. So what would be the best single paint to use for the whole wall. Wood paint, or standard emulsion?

Many thanks.

Probably go for the emulsion.

You just don't put wood paint on plaster.

Be sure to sand and prepare the wood panelling correctly first though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going for the standard emulsion.

Any wood primer and then emulsion.

Prime the wood first or the emulsion will not look ok

Wasn't aware the wood was bare to warrant a primer.
