First off 
to House Repair Talk!
I have a friend who's a painting contractor and he always tells me the 3 things to have before paint is 1. clean 2. dull 3. dry. Remove any greasy residue on the surface, sand to knock off the sheen for better adhesion and make sure the area is dry.
Sherman-Williams or Porter Paints make a primmer to cover for color changes that they will tint to the wall color, then get a good quality top coat. I personally don't buy paint from the Big Box Stores. Remember, prep is the most important part of any painting job.

Also when painting bead board, especially if you're using a roller or foam brush, make certain to use a bristle brush to brush out along the v-bead to keep a nice clean line. Small runs that dry in the grooves can be a pain to remove.
