[A/S] Interior paint
Hi,
I have refurbished several vintage trailers. I use a good oil base enamel and a
narrow, about a 4 inch, roller. It does a beautiful job. The narrow roller lets
you follow the curved inside. If you want a little texture you can use a longer
napped roller or even one of the new carved rollers. My current Bambi is papered
on all flat areas with a mottled background and dark green maps of the world. I
had the paint store mix the background color for me and then sponged a slightly
darker color over it. Most people who see it cannot tell it is painted. The sponging
or similar technique will cut the super smooth glare.
