Does anyone know/has tried painting over the spongy shower room wallpaper in their van? Not sure if using bathroom paint will do the job ok...

Hi,,, I doubt the paint will stick to this type of paper and once dry will just peel off.
But I could be wrong..:0):dance:

Hi Pink ....I painted the whole of van inside and it took ok with just ordinary paint. I am not sure about the spongy paper in the shower as I didnt want to chance it. I am just going to learn to live with it. If you can find anything that might suitable then could you let me know and vice versa.

I agree with apache you would probably need a special paint or it will just peel off.

You may be better putting new on top of what you have.

We are lucky we haver Auto paints near by, an old bloke and two young lads, just tell them what you want to do and they will mix a small amount of paint to do it, so have a look around and find who supplys the motor trade with paint as they should be able to mix somethinng to stick to it.
Or just wallpaper over it with new stuff
