Hi all.
Has anyone repainted the inside of their van including furniture? My other half wants to so was just wondering what you used? We have a 91 Puck in original condition but wanted to make it more of our own..
Cheers

Thanks!

Please post some pics when it's done!

When we bought our '86 Puck earlier this year I also decided to paint the interior. It was all too brown and beige for my liking though in generally good condition. Decided to start with the walls and having painted them white, I've now had a rethink and decided that the 'wood' looks ok. I also used a Johnstone's primer and then vinyl matt emulsion. Seems to be ok, but only time will tell! I also recovered the seat cushions, changed the curtains for roller blinds and wallpapered the fridge.
My advice would be to take things slowly, changing one thing changes the whole look and feel in such a small space.
Also looking forward to seeing the photos

Thanks Jo.. What roller blinds did you use? Where did you buy them from? We've found some from IKEA but need cutting to length, just wondering what else is out there.
Cheers

I used IKEA blackout blinds. UK blinds come in imperial measurements so don't fit European caravans but the IKEA blinds fit perfectly

I didn't worry about the length, we just pull them down below the bottom of the window. I've kept the elastics that were on the curtains so the blinds are pulled close to the window to keep the light out.
Its worked well so far

So did I, and they work a treat ! 100 cm wide.

The choice of paint brush or roller, or a combination of both, is likely to make a big contribution to the quality of finish. A brush might be used in tight areas and the roller for larger expanses. I'd even consider a few practice pieces on off cuts of wood panel first. You'd get a good feeling for the covering power of the paint. Good undercoat of the correct colour match to the top coat will improve the chances of a good finish.
