I have a fabulous fibreline caravan but the exterior needs a refresh. It has fibreglass top and bottom with centre section being aluminium I believe.
What products/methods would members advise using to perk up Mabel?

the easiest way to paint Mable will be with a roller and brush // Preparation is the key to all painting a good sand down and fill all the dents and blemish's if you expose any bare alloy that will need treating with an etch primer first
what you paint her with is up to you people use everything from household gloss to brushing enamels
the thing is to enjoy doing it
Christine
Very Happy

search Cheltenham restoration or my user name mikehn, for this restoration we used rollers and coach paint. The coach paint gives a superb finish and is very forgiving.
