Your rig is in great condition (I took a look) and I think you could do some awesome things with a good cleaning with TSP and some Aura Paint. The thing I like about this paint is that no matter what color you pick all the other Aura colors go with it...it's amazing really. Ask them to demonstrate this for you..

Thanks for the compliment! We love our rig, but the "period correct" look is getting old...time for something new.

I was toying with the idea of painting the walls, but I didn't know if the paint would stick to the "veneer".

I do like the color combos that BM has on their site. I'll have to head over to Ace Hardware this afternoon, or when I get time, and take a look at the Aura, as well as their new line Natura.

Thanks again.

My advice is to mask, protect anything and everything you do NOT want paint on. It takes a little longer to mask things, however you can apply
the primer and finish paint much faster and with no brush or roller marks.
If your trailer is gutted it's easy to spray. Apply light tac coats so the paint does not run or drip.

Everyone is talking about Zolotone late 60`s,then what is on the walls of my 63 Globetrotter? It is gutted now,so after frame and floor ,it looks like a good time to paint,or at least clean.Thanks,Dave

Zolotone is a kind of bumpy speckled paint with different colors in it. It is still available.

Other than Airstream trailers the only place I have seen it is inside the trunks of cars, and in the bathrooms of Ontario provincial parks in the 60s.

I guess it's really called Zolatone.
