The most difficult (and time-consuming) part is the taping of trim, etc. After you've taped off the trim, paint over the vinyl with Sherwin-Williams Bonding Primer. This stuff is amazing. You create a new surface that you can paint over. I even painted over the dark, ugly the fake walnut paneling. Here's what the inside of my trailer looks like. I faux painted it with a sponge, but if you don't feel comfortable faux painting you can just paint with a roller or brush.

Thanks for the tip. I was just talking about painting the dark ugly fake walnut on my bulkheads yesterday afternoon. Nice to see someone who has really done it. I will have to strip the one by the refrigerator, though, it is peeling from the top.
