Howdy All (again) -
Renovating my 1986 Sunrader. I'm removing the interior paneling (due to some water issues) and was planning to replace it with some new paneling. However, the inside of the fiberglass is much more smooth than I was expecting. I'm thinking of just doing a light sanding on the fiberglass interior and then paint it instead of re-doing all the paneling. I've seen some posts about painting the interior paneling or ceilings, but not much about painting the interior fiberglass itself... has anyone done this and has it stood the test of time? I'd need to frame out the windows so that they would be held in place properly, but otherwise it would just be painted fiberglass. If I don't end up doing this throughout the coach, I'm thinking of at least doing it in the sleeping area above the cab since all the paneling up there doesn't really follow the contours of the coach anyway. Pluses as far as I can tell would be that any leaks or problems would be immediately noticeable rather than hiding behind paneling for years. It also could look pretty nice if done properly (I think). Cons would be that I wouldn't have any insulation which would make it noisier. Anyone with experience having done this or any suggestions?
