I am going to install 3/8 paneling (4x8 ft sheets) as a ceiling directly on trusses spaced 24" appart.  Will 16 gauge 2" finising nails suffice

I would use some Liquid nails  or something along that line along with the finish nails.

Liquid nails and ring shank finish panel nails. They come in colors too.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I am installing the paneling over a vapor barrier so the liquid nails is not an option.  I'll have to see if I can use ring shank nails with my Bostich air gun...
