Glitter paint on paneled walls! How do we cover so we can paint it a "normal" color?

Question

I would assume regular primer would work, but I'm not sure since I'm only familiar with sheetrock walls and water based paints.  Do we still use water based primer and paint?  A friend of ours is renting a mobile home temporarily and we need to make it look as nice as possible.  The previous tenants chose to sponge-paint one of the rooms bright pink and purple with some kind of glitter paint all over.  We want to change it back to an off-white or some other subdued color.  How do we do this?  This is the old type of thin wood paneling with the ridges.  Very old.

First, give the walls a good scrubbing.  Let dry at least overnight with a fan on to move the air around.  Then apply a couple coats of a good primer like Bull's Eye 123 or Kilz.  Make sure the glitter is well covered before you start with the paint/top coat.  Allow plenty of drying time.Then apply your top coat or coats.
