I vote to paint the inside if the original interior is the drab gray60ish
paper feeling coat that airstream used. the vinyl that is in my 70is
definitely bright enough and resistant enough. the paint job howevermust
be done right. It greatly enhances the appearance of the mid 60s and
before trailers. As for resale. I wouldn't hesitate putting down moneyon
one if its done right.
