Interior paint
Just finished repainting the interior. The vinyl on the aluminum sheeting was in good condition just a off yellow color that was sickly looking. I found Nuvo cabinet paint “Titanium White” that went on very nice. Cleaned the walls with super clean and then a alcohol wipe prior to painting. Two coats gave a nice uniform coverage. Installed a new backsplash and she is ready for an outing.

Re: Interior paint
Very nice work. We had to paint our cabinetry because the wood showed its age.
I see you did a subway-type tile around the range and sink. The black accenting on the lighting looks good as well.
Time to take it on the road!

Re: Interior paint
Bob - thanks. I’m mulling over whether to paint the cabinets or leave them be. Do you have a photo of how yours came out?
Thanks
Oliver

Re: Interior paint
Oliver-
Unfortunately, I lost all my restoration pics when my coffee became one with keyboard. They may be located on an external hard drive. I just haven't had time to find it.
I will tell you one thing. If I were to do it all over again, I would use a solvent-based bonding primer, rather than rely on a latex-based, primer-finish paint. Although we sanded all surfaces and wiped them down with lacquer thinner, I didn't get the bond I expected. Yes, solvent-based primer is somewhat more difficult to apply than latex. But the paint finish will be more resistant to nicks and hard blows on edges.

Re: Interior paint
Thanks for the advice. That will have to wait for this winter. There’s to much camping to do right now. That and a toilet install.
Re: Interior paint
My advice is to try to resist painting the cabinets. I’ve stripped out ours and sanded back all the old varnish. The grain is stunning when re done.Just the way they looked when new. Well worth the effort. Perhaps do a few at a time? My advice though is to use an air compressor and a dual action sander. I used 80 grit discs to get the worst off, then used 120 to 180 for a nice finish before satin varnish. Fortunately, I have a reasonable compressor to run the sander. Hi,a good mask is a must!
Re: Interior paint
Well done. I did something similar, but found the veneer on the cabinet fascias too thin and they began to peel So, plan B was to cut the old fascia off and reskin
