cwr Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Static caravan now on site so going to set to and paint over the internal wallpaper. Probably have to get the paint from Screwfix as can pick up in the evenings, so Leyland or Dulux the main contenders. Is is it worth going for Dulux which is slightly more expensive, and the 'trade' variant? Colour to be white btw. Thanks
markc Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Dulux trade will go over most things in one coat, with white I would use anything else. but do you really want a brilliant white box to live in? and does the finish on a caravan really matter?
cwr Posted July 19, 2021 Author Posted July 19, 2021 Quote but do you really want a brilliant white box to live in? and does the finish on a caravan really matter? Apparently we do. Quote and does the finish on a caravan really matter? Probably not, and arguably shouldn't be distracting from the more important job of building the house... But if there's a few simple things we can do to make it more pleasant and keep everyone happy. And maybe help its re-sale value. Though in saying that, having second thoughts as a friend raised concerns about locking in moisture. Should we try and get a breathable paint, or leave well along, or are we worrying about nothing?
markc Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I would leave it alone and grow to hate it … more incentive to get the house built 1 1
ToughButterCup Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Why not block it out from the inside? Create yourself a nice little dwelling house. No need for paint All the rage in West Lancs
