Due to the previous owner of our house completely failing with the painting of the facade, we are now forced to replace large parts of the panel on the facade before painting. There is baspanel/herrgårdspanel today and the idea is to put up the same type of panel again.
The question is whether we have to tear down the old panel or if it is fine to simply nail the new panel on top of the old one? This would save a considerable amount of time.

It should be entirely possible, but on the other hand, there will be a bit of extra work with trim and window sills around windows and doors. Then it might result in poorer ventilation behind the new panels, depending on what paint you use, which could be a potential problem.
Now there won't be much crafting around windows and the like since it's a brick house with wooden facade only on the "gables" on the short sides and a garage in question. But you still think one should tear down the old...? If one chooses to nail new boards on top of the old ones, must there then be an air gap between?
The existence or absence of an air gap depends greatly on the type of paint color you choose to use. An "open" slamfärg does not require an air gap, but a dense acrylic paint may often need an air gap behind the panel.
