What is the best paint to use on the vinyl clad panels? I want to paint my ceilings and walls.

Guess no one has ever painted! Found my own answer at Home Depot.

What did you use?

Most of us with the vinyl interiors thought we had to live with it!

I don't have it in front of me, but It is a primer( called Cling, I think) that will adhere to almost anything. Dries in about 30 min. and can be painted on in about 4 hours. They said it will also work on plastic but I have not tried it on plastic yet. Works great on the vinyl but be sure it is totally clean.

There is "no" known paint that will adhere to the vinylclad material, AND stay, for the long haul, without preperation. The vinylclad "MUST" first be scuffed with 150 grit sandpaper.
If not done, any paint will, in time, peel off. When scuffed properly, even most water based paints will stay. Andy

Paint on anything, any kind of paint ,will of course chip, peel , scrach, etc. over time, and considering use and abuse; but this stuff does work on the vinyl! If you leave it alone it will last a long time. After it dried, and I applied a good latex semi-gloss, I wiped it with water and it stayed.
