Hi to you all

I would like to brighten up the inside of my rapido confortmatic folding caravan.

I was thinking of doing something with the inside walls and ceiling. At present they are covered in a plasticy textured covering and I was wondering if it is possible to paint the walls and possibly the ceiling.

if so what would the best type of paint be to use.

I was thinking of a good vinyl silk emulsion.

Also what would you suggest for the outside. At present it is white and has some discolouring.

Any help with Ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Ive just painted mine with a kitchen/bathroom type paint, gave the vinyl stuff a good scrub down, then painted, it takes a while though to get round the windows etc, i uses a roller for rough walls to cover the texturing easier, seems to be lasting ok.

Dont know about the outside, a question i have been pondering myself, but have you tried a good clean using fenwicks or somthing similar??

I think that if you paint the outside you might devalue the van as you'll never be able to duplicate the markings down the side.
Freinds of ours have a caravan that was painted inside with emulsion paint and over the winter it just all flaked off, now they are wallpapering it.

try stensiling. this made a great effect on cupboard areas that looked a bit bare, and the finished product looked as if it was proffessionaly done
