painting shower room and shower tray (1 Viewer)

[number9scores]

Hi,

The wall paper in my shower room of my peugeot boxer is a bit tired and has one or two imperfections/tears. I want to seal any torn parts and paint the paper. Any tips on this as I realise that the prep and products are vital or I'll just be doing this again!

The shower tray has only minor cracks/hairline cracks and I'd like to know if there's a good product for paint this white to refresh it.

many thanks.

vinyl silk emulsion on the walls and truck bedliner paint for the tray

thanks for your quick reply. If I need to use a little filler/hairline crack filler, do I cover these bits with anything first or just paint them?

the idea of using bed liner is it is urethane based and the rubber texture flexes with the plastic. if a crack is bad enough to need filling its better to plastic weld it before painting

thanks for the info...my last post wasn't clear..I meant the wall paper! Will have a go at the tray painting though.

use flexible filler on the walls then prime the patch with a light coat of the vinyl silk which is also fairly flexible. when dry coat the whole area. remember you are painting onto a waterproof surface so drying time is extended

brilliant.cheers. It will help spruce up the van. She's 21.

maybe the van is 21 but its an affordable way to enjoy motorhoming. we are not snobs on this forum and whether its a home converted van or a palace on wheels we all have the motorhoming lifestyle in common

You might have trouble getting the paint to stick on the vinyl W/paper, soap residue, body grease, etc etc etc.

Zinesser 1 2 3 (the one with red in the label) will make it stick. It drys in 7 mins, and work in a well ventilated van, even going so far as to having a fan on full, else you'll float out the door.
