Interior Panels

[Richard Hayden]

I think that Leroy suggested a particular paint if that is what you end up
doing. The type of paint is important if you want it to last. Also, I had to
replace some of the plastic slats that go between the ribs. Some were broken
and others were just discolored and yellowed. Those are still available from
BB, or is it now CC Parts?

I've got some areas that are showing some wear and I believe my
problem is that the vinyl is abraded and scuffed some so that what
looks like dirt is actually the material under the actual top coat
showing thru. I started last night and did a little painting and I
believe that I will improve my situation best by at least hitting the
worse spots with paint. You have to remember my coach is 35yrs old
and although I think it has held up well its still 15 years older
then a lot of the others out there. I'll get it one way of the
other. Not bad enough at this point to remove and go to the carpet
but that would be a option at some point. If done correctly I would
think that would look very nice. Something to consider.

paint. We used a product called "Magic Eraser" on the difficult
areas. Worked well.
