Hi
Could anybody tell me if they have Painted their internal roof liner (material) as mine is so dirty but in good condition
I dont want to try to clean it. Would like to paint it black to cover all the yellow smoke stains, If so is there a speical paint I should use (Brand) or would any fabric paint do the job. Any help would be of great help.
Regards
Ian

I have used acylic paint on a couple of time on my beetle with great success, i am currently doing my caravelle with not such a great success but is probley the colour. previously i have used black and and looks great after 2 coats. so far i have put 2 coats on my bus but it looks a bit patchy still, am going to give it another coat at weekend hopefully it will even out. i have mixed a nice silver grey colour for the bus. been buying from the works 2 tubes for £5 and using a mini roller to apply. as its acylic its flexible for canvas and covers without cracking.

Hi 2020Mad or Anyone
thanks for the info. Sorry to sound thick would any acrylic paint do the job? Also which would be best spray from a rattle can or roller? Again thanks for the help.

I have only ever rollered only because by the time you mask all inside of car/bus and mask windows you have no light to work with or any ventalation as such to spray, by using a roller you only ned to mask a few edges and if you get any on a body panels or glass, quickly wipe off with a damp cloth.
