First apply a good, even coat of primer (kilz interior primer/sealer works well on paneling)
Once the primer has dried completely you will be able to see clearly where any holes or cracks are in the paneling, as you will want to fill any such voids before you apply the paint.
When the primer is dry and all the nail, tack and screw holes are filled you can then apply the paint.
I like to use a short nap fleece roller cover for surfaces like paneling. The fleece (sheep skin) rollers are a little more expensive but they do not spatter paint everywhere like other roller covers and they last a lot longer.

Can you restain wood panelling?
If the paneling is real wood, it can be restained easily. You would need to lightly sand it, and then stain it just as you would any other wooden surface. If the paneling is laminate, you would go about it in the same manner but may find that the stain does not penetrate the surface of the material as easily. So, for laminated paneling you might want to try a test area first.
