krylon fusion - what sheen would you recommend?

[Mx468]

What type of krylon fusion all in one - would you recommend using for painting the interior walls of my vinyl covered wall airstream, gloss, satin or matte? I'm planning on using the spray cans to paint the walls in my 23 ft Safari. Thanks.

Word to the wise: you will need to use SO MANY more rattle cans than you expect. It took me more than 20 cans just to do the bedroom area.

Yeah that's what I suspected, what finish did you use or would recommend? semi gloss, high gloss, matte in the bedroom and front kitchen, table area? In the bathroom I plan on using a high gloss.

Click that link... I put a lot of time and effort into trying all kind of brands, finishes, etc., and then posting what I found! Basically there isn't one answer. Your questions all depend on different factors (where they'll be used, what colors are available, how durable vs. "pretty" certain flavors are, etc.).

Buy a gallon of paint and rent an airless sprayer get it done in an hour.

I have an airless sprayer, never thought of going that route. Would you thin out the paint? Also what sheen would you use? Semi? High? Matte?

I think Fusion has its place. I did my '79 Sovereign's plastic font cap and was able to fog it to match my vinyl walls that I steam cleaned with my wife's clothes steamer to get the sticky feeling off. Worked great. I took apart all the tambors and did them also. Worked great. Don't know if I'd do all the vinyl clad aluminum skins, though.

I painted mine with an airless sprayer using Behr premium in a satin finish. Very happy with the outcome.

I cleaned with Crud Cutter then rolled on Gripper primer and then painted with Exterior latex with the eggshell sheen. Matched the original sheen pretty close.
