Re: [VAC] another paint quesrion



Hi Scott & Krissy:
The interior walls/ceilings of my 74 Soverign were in excellent
condition except for the bedroom which seemed to have taken a
real beating by former owners and since I pulled out the single
beds and bedside cab and put in  a double bed and repositioned
the cabinet the walls were awful. 

I repaired filled sanded holes and blemishes and painted with a
primer for plastic first and then a nice fawny latex colour
overtop.  It looks great and sticks.  Just about ready for a new
c coat since Ive done some other minor repairs and had some rows
of rivets in and out again etc.

I'm gonig to be painting the living room dome the same colour and
then sponging a milky glo sheen overtop when I get around to it
to get rid of that peachy colour that was wiped over the plastic
originally.

With the help of a woman with a good colour-eye at the paint
shop,
the colour I've painted co-ordinates really well with the pattern
in the wall/ceilings, gold anodized trims, copper anodized trims
and wood grain laminates.
