Hey @sparkywig . I have thought about carpet so maybe. I thought vinyl covering, a good fabric perhaps or a thick paint. Undecided haI had a Dormobile roof that had been covered in 4 way stretch carpet.
No.. i cant decide on silk matt or gloss now. I need a life coachYou sure ?![]()
Hey @ozziedog . I nave ditched the fabric idea and its going to be paint when i can decide ha. Your idea sounds really wild and very cool though. Hmmm. In my bus though im not sure if i went all arty it would work. Or would itI had a look in a couple of Dormy topped vans on the weekend. I see what Wiggy is saying about raw fibreglass. It is extremely primitive in the finishing department and with the best will in the world, I can’t see stretch fabric staying on there because of the contours going every which way through the roof and the industrial texture of the fibreglass. if it was mine,,,,,,
id paint it white, then I’d spray or brush over stencils to form a collage of bright pastel colours. I’d make a stencil like the bonnet of a beetle but just partial then a partial front of a split and the same with both types of bay and probably a half crescent air vent and a chunk of T25 too. Then I’d overlay with different pale colours to form a bright camo detail that wouldn’t show until you pointed out what the different shapes were.

Thats cool @YellowBay69. What brand did you use ? Im after a good ivory cream colour.I painted mine white with a flexible paint. Came out like a silk finish. Used a sponge roller. Did it before fitting new canvas. Still looks ok now.![]()

This is true. Maybe one day ha. Got my arty side going now thoughBut,,,don’t forget, it’s only paint, so once you’ve got some decent paint on it’s just a matter of wiping off with a scourer type pad then a wipe down with cloth and spirit or panel wipes then paint again. If you wanted to be semi committed, when you mask off the windows and rubbers, mask about an inch in to the roof itself so when you do your stencils you’ll have an inch of shite paint as a ‘ frame ‘ around the windows. If you really didn’t like it or got fed up with it it’d be so easy to wipe it and paint straight over agsin.
